How to convert parsecs to dekameters
1 parsec is equal to 3.085677581 × 10¹⁵ dekameters, and 1 dekameter is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁶ parsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
dekameters = parsecs × 3.085677581 × 10¹⁵
dekameters = parsecs ÷ 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁶Example: convert 1 pc to dam: 1 × 3.085677581 × 10¹⁵ = 3.085677581 × 10¹⁵ dam.

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.
