About Parsec (pc)
Approximately 3.26 light-years (30.857 trillion km), the parsec is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends one arcsecond of parallax. Professional astronomers prefer parsecs over light-years because parsecs relate directly to the trigonometric parallax method used to measure stellar distances.
About Fathom (ftm)
Traditionally equal to 6 feet (1.8288 meters), the fathom originated as the span of a sailor's outstretched arms and has been used for centuries to measure water depth. Nautical charts and depth soundings still reference fathoms in many maritime traditions, and Mark Twain's pen name came from the riverboat call 'mark twain' meaning two fathoms.
