How to convert parsecs to decimeters
1 parsec is equal to 3.085677581 × 10¹⁷ decimeters, and 1 decimeter is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁸ parsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
decimeters = parsecs × 3.085677581 × 10¹⁷
decimeters = parsecs ÷ 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁸Example: convert 1 pc to dm: 1 × 3.085677581 × 10¹⁷ = 3.085677581 × 10¹⁷ dm.

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.
