By definition, if the parallax is one arc-second (1/3600 of a degree), the distance is one parsec.

∙ 14y ago1 "parsec" = distance for which parallax = 1 degree = 3.26 light years
1 degree = 3,600 seconds of arc
distance for parallax of 1 degree = 3,600 seconds = (1 / 3,600) parsec = (3.26 / 3,600) L-Y = 9.055 x 10-4 L-Y
= (9.055 x 10-4) x (5.8787 x 1012) = 5.3235 x 109 miles (rounded)
===> Pluto's average distance from the sun is 3.67 billion miles, so the order of magnitude we're talking about is like 1-1/2 times the distance to Pluto.

∙ 14y agoSuch a small distance is not usually measured in parsecs. Parsecs are used to measure distances to other stars, and other galaxies.
Anyway, the distance Sun-Earth is about 150 million km.; the parsec is almost 31 million million kilometres. If you divide, you get the answer to the question: about 4.8 microparsec, 4.8 millionth of a parsec.

What is the order of increasing length of astronomical unit parsec kilometer and light year?
kilometer, AU (astronomical unit), light year, parsec.
Unit of astronomical distance?
The "Astronomical Unit" is approximately the radius of Earth's orbit from the Sun. It's about 93,000,000 miles.
How big is one parsec?
3.08568025 × 1013 kilometers 3.08568025 × 1013 kilometers
It is a unit of stellar distance?
Since you've not provided any clues... It could be - ight year, parsec or astronomical unit
What are the distances represented by a light year an astronomical unit and parsec?
A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. A parsec is short for parallax second, which is also a measure of distance.Answer 1 Parsec = 3.26163626 light years 1 light year = 0.30659458 Parsecs
What is the order of increasing length of astronomical unit parsec kilometer and light year?
kilometer, AU (astronomical unit), light year, parsec.
What are three astronomical units of measure?
-- the Astronomical Unit -- the Light Year -- the Parsec -- the Magnitude
Unit of astronomical distance?
The "Astronomical Unit" is approximately the radius of Earth's orbit from the Sun. It's about 93,000,000 miles.
How do you use the word parallax in a sentence?
The astronomical unit called a parsec is based on the idea of parallax.
Why use parsec insread of miles?
One parsec is equal to 19,200,000,000,000 miles. Parsecs are used to calculate astronomical distances where the number of miles is enormous and too difficult to use in calculations.
How big is one parsec?
3.08568025 × 1013 kilometers 3.08568025 × 1013 kilometers
What is km in a fraction?
A kilometre can be consider as approx (1/30.86) trillionths of a parsec, a standard astronomical unit.
It is a unit of stellar distance?
Since you've not provided any clues... It could be - ight year, parsec or astronomical unit
Put Ly PC AU Km in order from least to greatest?
Kilometre, Astronomical Unit, Light Year, Parsec.
What is the unit of length that measures how far an object is in the outer space?
The usual units of measure are; Astronomical Unit (AU) Light year Parsec
What are the distances represented by a light year an astronomical unit and parsec?
A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. A parsec is short for parallax second, which is also a measure of distance.Answer 1 Parsec = 3.26163626 light years 1 light year = 0.30659458 Parsecs
Which is the unit used for measuring the distance between heavenly bodies?
Three units are commonly used in astronomy - the astronomical unit; the light-year; and the parsec.
