Conversion Process
This conversion uses Meter as the base unit. We'll first convert Parsec to Meter, then convert from Meter to Light-Year.
Step 1: Convert from Parsec to Meter
1 × 30.86P = 30.86P
Result: 30.86P Meter
Step 2: Convert from Meter to Light-Year
30.86P × 1.06e-16 = 3.26
Result: 3.26 Light-Year
Direct Conversion Factor
1 × 3.26 = 3.26
Direct conversion: 1 Parsec = 3.26 Light-Year
