convert Parsec to nanometer

Conversion Formula

1 pc = 3.0857E+25 nm

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Parsec = 3.0857E+16 meters
   1 Nanometer = 1.0E-9 meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 pc = (3.0857E+16 m) / (1.0E-9 m/nm) = 3.0857E+25 nm
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in pc by 3.0857E+25 to get the equivalent in nm

Example Conversion

Convert 5 pc to nm:

5 pc × 3.0857E+25 = 1.54285E+26 nm
