Astronomical Distance Converter
Convert between various astronomical distance units, including light years, parsecs, astronomical units (AU), and kilometers.
How to Convert Light Years to Parsecs
Divide the number of light years by 3.262 to get parsecs.
parsecs = light years ÷ 3.262
Example: 10 light years ÷ 3.262 = 3.064 parsecs
How to Convert AU to Kilometers
Multiply the number of astronomical units by 149,597,870.7 to get kilometers.
km = AU × 149,597,870.7
Example: 2 AU × 149,597,870.7 = 299,195,741.4 km
How to Convert Parsecs to Light Years
Multiply the number of parsecs by 3.262 to get light years.
light years = parsecs × 3.262
Example: 5 parsecs × 3.262 = 16.31 light years
