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

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.
