How far is the distance between Avonlea and Charlottetown?
267 parsecs
The universe is so large that astronomers measure distance between stars instead of kilometers?
light-years, parsecs, and megaparsecs
How long did it take the Millennium Falcon to make the Kessel Run?
Han Solo claimed the Millennium Falcon can make the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs. You will note though that "parsecs" is a unit of distance. So, if Captain Solo's claims are true, he may mean that the Falcon can make the Kessel Run in a shorter distance than what is known.
Which Star Wars starship made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?
The Millennium Falcon did it. All the science geeks loved this line when the movie came out, because a parsec is a measure of distance--about 31 trillion kilometers--not of time. George Lucas later released a statement that the Kessel Run was usually over 12 parsecs because there's a black hole along the route. Han Solo's ship, because of its high speed, was able to get close enough to the black hole to shorten the distance to below 12 parsecs.
What is the difference between apparent magnitude and surface magnitude?
The two types are apparent magnitude, the magnitude of a star as it appears to us, and absolute magnitude, which is what a star's apparent magnitude would be at a standard distance of ten parsecs.
Is there anything bigger than a parsec?
Yes, there are units of distance larger than a parsec. One example is a kiloparsec (kpc), which is equal to 1,000 parsecs. Additionally, there are units such as a megaparsec (Mpc) and gigaparsec (Gpc), which represent distances of one million and one billion parsecs, respectively. These larger units are commonly used in astronomy to measure vast distances between galaxies and galaxy clusters.
A mega-parsec is equivalent to?
Mega means million. A megaparsec is a million parsecs. Each parsec is about 3.26 light-years.Mega means million. A megaparsec is a million parsecs.

Each parsec is about 3.26 light-years.
What is the distance modulus for a star that is 1 million parsecs away?
A distance of one million parsecs (approximately 3,262,000 light-years) is commonly denoted by the megaparsec(Mpc).
How much is a kiloparsec in kilometers?
1 kiloParsec=3.08568025 × 1016 kilometers
How many miles is a kiloparsec?
1 kiloParsec = 1.91735116 × 10^16 miles
How many lights years are equivalent to 5 mega-parsecs?
One light year is equivalent to about 3.26 parsecs. Therefore, 5 mega-parsecs would be equal to 5 million parsecs. To convert to light years, you would multiply the number of parsecs by 3.26, giving approximately 16.3 million light years.
How many parsec in 2.2 million light-YEARS?
2,200,000 light years is 674,523 parsecs
What does KPC mean in distance?
1 kiloParsec = 3.08568025 × 10000000000000000000 meters 3.26 light-years = 1 "parsec" 1,000 parsecs = 1 KPC
What does kilo-parsecs mean?

If a star is 100 light-years away what is its approximate distance in parsecs?
30.659 parsecs
What is 617 parsecs in miles?
617 parsecs is 11.83 quardillion miles.
How many parsecs make one light year?
~0.3064 parsecs.
