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

What is the relation between astronomical unit and parsec?

An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of measurement used in astronomy that is equal to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, about 93 million miles. A parsec is a unit of measurement used to describe astronomical distances, equal to about 3.26 light-years or 206,265 AU.

Is there a difference between a parsec and a secpar?

Yes. A "parsec" is the abbreviation for a parallax-second of arc, a measure of distance. I have no idea what a "secpar" is, but it might be the abbreviation for some sort of government official, "Secretary of Parking" perhaps.


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


How many astronomical unit are in 1 parsec?

About 206,000 given that 1 parsec is 3.06 x 1013 km and 1 AU is 149.6 x 106 km __________________ 1 Astronomical Unit (AU) is the average distance from the Sun to the Earth, about 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles (approximately). We use AU when we talk about distances between objects WITHIN the solar system. One "parsec", or "parallax-second of arc", is the distance that an object would be (from Earth) if we measure a one second of arc difference in the relative direction of a "nearby" object, measured from one side of the Earth's orbit to the other. That gives us a baseline distance of 2 AU, about 300 million km or 186 million miles. You can calculate the distance of one parsec using trigonometry; the base of the triangle is 2AU, and the opposite angle is 1 second of arc (1/3600th of a degree). Roughly, one parsec is about 3.26 light years. We use parsecs to measure distance between stars, or between objects in the galaxy.
