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 Kilometer (km)
Equal to 1,000 meters, the kilometer is the standard unit for measuring road distances, marathon courses (42.195 km), and geographic separations in most countries. Road signs across Europe, Asia, and South America display distances in kilometers, making it one of the most universally encountered metric units.
