How to convert gigameters to parsecs
1 gigameter is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻⁸ parsecs, and 1 parsec is equal to 30,856,775.81 gigameters. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
parsecs = gigameters × 3.240779289 × 10⁻⁸
parsecs = gigameters ÷ 30,856,775.81Example: convert 1 Gm to pc: 1 × 3.240779289 × 10⁻⁸ = 3.240779289 × 10⁻⁸ pc.

About the gigameter
A gigameter is one billion meters. The Moon orbits about 0.38 Gm from Earth, and the Sun's diameter is about 1.39 Gm.
Symbol: Gm · 1 Gm = 1,000,000,000 m · Category: Metric (SI)
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.
