What is a kiloparsec used for?

A kiloparsec is used in astronomy to measure vast distances such as separations within galaxies, sizes of galactic structures, and distances between galaxies.

How many meters are in one kiloyard?

One kiloyard equals 914.4 meters, based on the international yard definition of 1 yard equaling 0.9144 meters.

Why convert kiloparsecs to kiloyards?

Conversions are helpful to express astronomical distances in yard-based terms for applications in engineering, surveying, and military systems that utilize imperial units.
