How to convert kiloparsecs to rods
1 kiloparsec is equal to 6.135523705 × 10¹⁸ rods, and 1 rod is equal to 1.62985272 × 10⁻¹⁹ kiloparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
rods = kiloparsecs × 6.135523705 × 10¹⁸
rods = kiloparsecs ÷ 1.62985272 × 10⁻¹⁹Example: convert 1 kpc to rd: 1 × 6.135523705 × 10¹⁸ = 6.135523705 × 10¹⁸ rd.

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.
