How to convert rods (US survey) to kiloparsecs
1 rod (us survey) is equal to 1.62985598 × 10⁻¹⁹ kiloparsecs, and 1 kiloparsec is equal to 6.135511434 × 10¹⁸ rods (US survey). To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
kiloparsecs = rods (US survey) × 1.62985598 × 10⁻¹⁹
kiloparsecs = rods (US survey) ÷ 6.135511434 × 10¹⁸Example: convert 1 rd (US) to kpc: 1 × 1.62985598 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.62985598 × 10⁻¹⁹ kpc.
