A kiloyard is a non-SI unit of length equal to 1,000 yards, which equals 914.4 meters using the international yard definition.

What does a parsec measure?

A parsec is an astronomical unit of length used to express distances to stars and other celestial objects, equal to approximately 3.085677581×10^16 meters.

Why convert kiloyards to parsecs?

Converting kiloyards to parsecs helps relate terrestrial yard-based distances to astronomical scales for applications in astronomy and astrophysics.
