A parsec (pc) is a unit of length used to measure astronomical distances. One parsec is approximately equal to 3.26 light-years, which is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond. This measurement is derived from parallax, the apparent shift in position of a nearby star against the background of distant objects when observed from different points in Earth's orbit. Parsecs are commonly used in astrophysics and cosmology to convey distances between celestial bodies.
Definition of FemtometerA femtometer (fm) is a metric unit of length equal to one quadrillionth of a meter, or 10^-15 meters. It is also known as a fermi, named after the physicist Enrico Fermi. Femtometers are used in the field of particle physics to measure the size of atomic nuclei and the scale of subatomic particles. Due to its incredibly small scale, the femtometer is ideal for expressing dimensions that are much smaller than the wavelengths of visible light and are on the order of the strong nuclear force range.
| Parsec (pc) | Femtometer (fm) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 pc | 3.0857e+31 fm |
| 0.5 pc | 1.54285e+32 fm |
| 1 pc | 3.0857e+32 fm |
| 2 pc | 6.1714e+32 fm |
| 3 pc | 9.2571e+32 fm |
| 4 pc | 1.23428e+33 fm |
| 5 pc | 1.54285e+33 fm |
| 10 pc | 3.0857e+33 fm |
| 20 pc | 6.1714e+33 fm |
| 50 pc | 1.54285e+34 fm |
1 pc = 3.0857 x 10^32 fm
1 fm = 3.24078 x 10^-33 pc
Example 1:
Convert 0.2 pc to fm:
0.2 pc = 0.2 x 3.0857 x 10^32 fm = 6.1714 x 10^31 fm
Example 2:
Convert 1.5 pc to fm:
1.5 pc = 1.5 x 3.0857 x 10^32 fm = 4.62855 x 10^32 fm
A brief history of the concept of parsecs reveals that it was first coined in 1913 by the British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner, as a practical unit of measure for the astronomical community. Converting parsecs to femtometers involves scaling this vast astronomical distance down to the subatomic level, a conversion that underlines the incredible range of scales the universe encompasses.
Unveil the cosmic scale from the comfort of your screen with the Parsec to Femtometer Converter, a tool that bridges the vastness of space down to the realm of particles.
Example 1:
Convert 0.25 pc to femtometers:
0.25 pc = 0.25 x 3.0857 x 10^32 fm = 7.71425 x 10^31 fm
Example 2:
Convert 2 pc to femtometers:
2 pc = 2 x 3.0857 x 10^32 fm = 6.1714 x 10^32 fm
