How To Convert Parsecs to Meters
1 parsec = 3.0857 × 10^16 meters
So to convert parsecs to meters, multiply the number of parsecs by 3.0857 × 10^16.
Example: To convert 2 parsecs to meters: 2 pc = 2 × (3.0857 × 10^16) = 6.1714 × 10^16 meters.
Parsecs to Meters Conversion Formula
The formula to convert parsecs (pc) to meters (m) is:
Distance in meters = Number of parsecs × (3.0857 × 10^16) Or written mathematically: m = pc × (3.0857 × 10^16).
