A kiloyard (kyd) is a non-SI length unit equal to 1,000 yards or 914.4 meters, used to express large linear distances in yard-based systems.

A terameter (Tm) is an SI-derived unit representing 10^12 meters, typically used for measuring very large distances on planetary and astronomical scales.

Why convert kiloyards to terameters?

Converting kiloyards to terameters helps relate large yard-based distances to extremely large metric measurements useful in astronomy and astrophysics.
