How to convert kiloparsecs to gigameters
1 kiloparsec is equal to 30,856,775,810 gigameters, and 1 gigameter is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹¹ kiloparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
gigameters = kiloparsecs × 30,856,775,810
gigameters = kiloparsecs ÷ 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹¹Example: convert 1 kpc to Gm: 1 × 30,856,775,810 = 30,856,775,810 Gm.

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.
