How to convert chains to parsecs
1 chain is equal to 6.519410881 × 10⁻¹⁶ parsecs, and 1 parsec is equal to 1.533880926 × 10¹⁵ chains. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
parsecs = chains × 6.519410881 × 10⁻¹⁶
parsecs = chains ÷ 1.533880926 × 10¹⁵Example: convert 1 ch to pc: 1 × 6.519410881 × 10⁻¹⁶ = 6.519410881 × 10⁻¹⁶ pc.

About the parsec
A parsec is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond: about 3.26 light-years (3.086 × 10¹⁶ m). Astronomers use it for distances to stars.
