How to convert parsecs to yards
1 parsec is equal to 3.374538038 × 10¹⁶ yards, and 1 yard is equal to 2.963368582 × 10⁻¹⁷ parsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
yards = parsecs × 3.374538038 × 10¹⁶
yards = parsecs ÷ 2.963368582 × 10⁻¹⁷Example: convert 1 pc to yd: 1 × 3.374538038 × 10¹⁶ = 3.374538038 × 10¹⁶ yd.

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.
