What is a parsec used for?

A parsec is an astronomical unit used to express distances between stars and celestial objects, often derived from parallax measurements.

Why convert parsecs to fermis?

Converting parsecs to fermis helps contextualize extremely large cosmic distances with the very small scales of nuclear physics.

Are the large numbers from this conversion practical?

Due to the vast difference in scale, the large conversion results serve mainly theoretical or comparative roles rather than everyday use.

Key Terminology

Parsec [pc]: An astronomical length unit representing the distance where one astronomical unit subtends one arcsecond, used to measure stellar and galactic distances.
Fermi [F, f]: A non-SI unit equal to one femtometre (1×10⁻¹⁵ metres), used to describe nuclear-scale lengths such as nuclear radii.
