How to convert meters to parsecs
1 meter is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁷ parsecs, and 1 parsec is equal to 3.085677581 × 10¹⁶ meters. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
parsecs = meters × 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁷
parsecs = meters ÷ 3.085677581 × 10¹⁶Example: convert 1 m to pc: 1 × 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁷ = 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁷ pc.

About the meter
The meter is the SI base unit of length. Since 1983 it has been defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. It's used for everyday measurement almost everywhere in the world.
Symbol: m · 1 m = 1 m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the parsec
A parsec is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond: about 3.26 light-years (3.086 × 10¹⁶ m). Astronomers use it for distances to stars.
