A Parasec is not the largest unit of measurement for the distance in the universe.
A hubble is equal to many parsecs
Therefore, hubble is the biggest
Unless you use yottahubble (1 septilllion hubbles)
A parsec is not in fact a real unit. it was made by Star Wars. :D :P

Or they will use Lightyears, for interstellar (between star) distances, which is the distance that light travels in 1 year in a vacuum.
Answer: A light-year is about 9.5 x 1012 (9.5 trillions) km. It is commonly used in popular astronomy, but astronomers themselves often prefer the parsec, equal to about 3.26 light-years.

Does a yard stick or a tape measure measure sq. ft. or is there a special measuring tool?
A yard stick or a tape measure will measure linear distances: that is lengths in one dimension only. There is no specific tool for measuring area: you need to calculate area from the linear measures using various geometric formulae.
What is the most useful unit for measuring distances within the solar system?
. . . . . . . . . .Scientists mainly use Astrological Units [abbre. AU ] to measure distances within the Solar System. 1 Astrological Unit is somewhere around 49,580,000 - 49,590,000 kilometers, or roughly 49,600,000 kilometers if you prefer to round up.- S0L+++AstroNOMICAL, NOT Astrological!Astronomy is the science, using Astronomical Units.Astrology is collective name for an assortment of similar, semi-religious beliefs.. . . . . . . . . .

Will astronomers measure all the distances of 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe?
Someday astronomers may have measured all the distances of 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
Why light-years are used to measure distances in the universe?
because it is the fastest way to measure in very long distances for example earth to other far away planets
