What are Parsec and Terameter

A parsec, abbreviated as pc, is a unit of length used to measure large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System. One parsec is approximately equal to 3.26 light-years, which is about 30.9 trillion kilometers or 19.2 trillion miles. It represents the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.

A terameter (Tm) is a unit of length in the metric system that equals one trillion meters (1,000,000,000,000 meters or 10^12 meters). Terameters are not commonly used in everyday measurements due to their enormous scale, but they are helpful in astronomy and astrophysics for expressing distances between planetary bodies within the Solar System and to nearby stars.
