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