How to convert kiloparsecs to petameters
1 kiloparsec is equal to 30,856.77581 petameters, and 1 petameter is equal to 0.00003240779289 kiloparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
petameters = kiloparsecs × 30,856.77581
petameters = kiloparsecs ÷ 0.00003240779289Example: convert 15 kpc to Pm: 15 × 30,856.77581 = 462,851.6372 Pm.

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.
Symbol: kpc · 1 kpc = 3.085677581 × 10¹⁹ m · Category: Astronomical
About the petameter
A petameter is 10¹⁵ meters, roughly a tenth of a light-year.
Symbol: Pm · 1 Pm = 1 × 10¹⁵ m · Category: Metric (SI)
