About These Units
Thou (thou)
A thou, also called mil, is an imperial unit equal to 1/1000 inch or 0.0254 millimeters. Thou measurements are used in manufacturing, engineering, and specifying material thickness (plastic films, paper, wire diameter). One inch equals 1,000 thou.
Parsec (pc)
A parsec (pc) is an astronomical unit equal to approximately 3.26 light years or 3.086×10¹⁶ meters. Parsecs measure stellar and galactic distances using parallax. The Milky Way galaxy is about 30,000 parsecs in diameter. Kiloparsecs (kpc) and megaparsecs (Mpc) measure larger cosmic distances.
