How to convert parsecs to rods
1 parsec is equal to 6.135523705 × 10¹⁵ rods, and 1 rod is equal to 1.62985272 × 10⁻¹⁶ parsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
rods = parsecs × 6.135523705 × 10¹⁵
rods = parsecs ÷ 1.62985272 × 10⁻¹⁶Example: convert 1 pc to rd: 1 × 6.135523705 × 10¹⁵ = 6.135523705 × 10¹⁵ rd.

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.
