Parsec Unit of length used in astronomy

The parsec is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System, approximately equal to 3.26 light-years or 206,000 astronomical units, i. e. 30.9 trillion kilometres. Parsec is obtained by the use of parallax and trigonometry, and is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond. This corresponds to 648000/π astronomical units, i.e. 1 pc = 1/tan(1″) au. The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is about 1.3 parsecs from the Sun. Most of the stars visible to the unaided eye in the night sky are within 500 parsecs of the Sun.
