How to convert parsecs to picometers
1 parsec is equal to 3.085677581 × 10²⁸ picometers, and 1 picometer is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻²⁹ parsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
picometers = parsecs × 3.085677581 × 10²⁸
picometers = parsecs ÷ 3.240779289 × 10⁻²⁹Example: convert 1 pc to pm: 1 × 3.085677581 × 10²⁸ = 3.085677581 × 10²⁸ pm.

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.
