How to convert kiloparsecs to dekameters
1 kiloparsec is equal to 3.085677581 × 10¹⁸ dekameters, and 1 dekameter is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁹ kiloparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
dekameters = kiloparsecs × 3.085677581 × 10¹⁸
dekameters = kiloparsecs ÷ 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁹Example: convert 1 kpc to dam: 1 × 3.085677581 × 10¹⁸ = 3.085677581 × 10¹⁸ dam.

About the kiloparsec
A kiloparsec is 1,000 parsecs (about 3,262 light-years). The Sun is roughly 8 kpc from the center of the Milky Way.
