How to convert kiloparsecs to nautical miles
1 kiloparsec is equal to 1.666132603 × 10¹⁶ nautical miles, and 1 nautical mile (international) is equal to 6.001923244 × 10⁻¹⁷ kiloparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nautical miles = kiloparsecs × 1.666132603 × 10¹⁶
nautical miles = kiloparsecs ÷ 6.001923244 × 10⁻¹⁷Example: convert 1 kpc to NM: 1 × 1.666132603 × 10¹⁶ = 1.666132603 × 10¹⁶ NM.
