How to convert parsecs to nanometers
1 parsec is equal to 3.085677581 × 10²⁵ nanometers, and 1 nanometer is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻²⁶ parsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nanometers = parsecs × 3.085677581 × 10²⁵
nanometers = parsecs ÷ 3.240779289 × 10⁻²⁶Example: convert 1 pc to nm: 1 × 3.085677581 × 10²⁵ = 3.085677581 × 10²⁵ nm.

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.
