How to convert kiloparsecs to rods (US survey)
1 kiloparsec is equal to 6.135511434 × 10¹⁸ rods (US survey), and 1 rod (us survey) is equal to 1.62985598 × 10⁻¹⁹ kiloparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
rods (US survey) = kiloparsecs × 6.135511434 × 10¹⁸
rods (US survey) = kiloparsecs ÷ 1.62985598 × 10⁻¹⁹Example: convert 1 kpc to rd (US): 1 × 6.135511434 × 10¹⁸ = 6.135511434 × 10¹⁸ rd (US).
