How to convert kiloparsecs to feet (US survey)
1 kiloparsec is equal to 1.012359387 × 10²⁰ feet (US survey), and 1 foot (us survey) is equal to 9.87791503 × 10⁻²¹ kiloparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
feet (US survey) = kiloparsecs × 1.012359387 × 10²⁰
feet (US survey) = kiloparsecs ÷ 9.87791503 × 10⁻²¹Example: convert 1 kpc to ft (US): 1 × 1.012359387 × 10²⁰ = 1.012359387 × 10²⁰ ft (US).

About the foot (us survey)
The US survey foot is exactly 1200/3937 m (about 0.3048006 m), two parts per million longer than the international foot. It was officially retired at the end of 2022 but remains in older land records and state plane coordinates.
