Discover the ease of converting astronomical distances from parsecs (pc) to picometers (pm) with our user-friendly Parsec to Picometer Converter, designed by Newtum to simplify your calculations.
A parsec is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System. One parsec is approximately equal to 3.26 light-years, or 3.086 x 10^16 meters. The term 'parsec' is derived from 'parallax of one arcsecond', which is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
Definition of PicometerA picometer is a metric unit of length that is equal to one trillionth of a meter (1 pm = 10^-12 meters). It's a unit commonly used in the realms of physics and chemistry to measure atomic and molecular scales. Given its minute scale, it's particularly useful in fields that delve into the nanoscopic world, such as nanotechnology.
| Parsec (pc) | Picometer (pm) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 pc | 3.086 x 10^25 pm |
| 0.5 pc | 1.543 x 10^26 pm |
| 1 pc | 3.086 x 10^26 pm |
| 2 pc | 6.172 x 10^26 pm |
| 3 pc | 9.258 x 10^26 pm |
| 5 pc | 1.543 x 10^27 pm |
| 10 pc | 3.086 x 10^27 pm |
| 20 pc | 6.172 x 10^27 pm |
| 50 pc | 1.543 x 10^28 pm |
| 100 pc | 3.086 x 10^28 pm |
1 pc = 3.086 x 10^26 pm
1 pm = 1 x 10^-12 m
Example 1:
Convert 0.1 pc to pm:
0.1 pc = 0.1 x 3.086 x 10^26 pm = 3.086 x 10^25 pm
Example 2:
Convert 2 pc to pm:
2 pc = 2 x 3.086 x 10^26 pm = 6.172 x 10^26 pm
