Parsec
- The parsec is the unit of measurement for the distance between stars and galaxies.
- Astronomers are the primary users. It is a measurement unit for the distance between astronomical objects outside the solar system.
- It is 3.26 light-years long. The distance at which an astronomical object subtends an angle of one arcsecond is one parsec.
- The distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond is known as a parsec.
Hence, a parsec is the unit of measurement for the distance between stars and galaxies
