How to convert parsecs to chains (US survey)
1 parsec is equal to 1.533877858 × 10¹⁵ chains (US survey), and 1 chain (us survey) is equal to 6.51942392 × 10⁻¹⁶ parsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
chains (US survey) = parsecs × 1.533877858 × 10¹⁵
chains (US survey) = parsecs ÷ 6.51942392 × 10⁻¹⁶Example: convert 1 pc to ch (US): 1 × 1.533877858 × 10¹⁵ = 1.533877858 × 10¹⁵ ch (US).

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.
