How to convert parsecs to gigameters
1 parsec is equal to 30,856,775.81 gigameters, and 1 gigameter is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻⁸ parsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
gigameters = parsecs × 30,856,775.81
gigameters = parsecs ÷ 3.240779289 × 10⁻⁸Example: convert 1 pc to Gm: 1 × 30,856,775.81 = 30,856,775.81 Gm.

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.
