What is a parsec used for?

A parsec is used primarily in astronomy to measure distances to stars and other celestial bodies.

Why convert parsecs to famn?

Converting parsecs to famn helps relate astronomical distances to maritime units, aiding in multidisciplinary studies including historical maritime research.

Is this conversion practical for everyday measurements?

No, because the conversion figures are extremely large and suited mainly for specialized fields like astronomy and nautical surveying.
