What is a parsec used for?

A parsec is an astronomical unit used to express distances between stars and other celestial objects, particularly in astronomical research and mapping.

Why convert parsec to Planck length?

Converting parsecs to Planck length allows researchers to relate vast cosmic distances to fundamental quantum of length important in theoretical physics.

Is this conversion useful for everyday measurements?

No, due to the extreme difference in scale, this conversion is mainly useful in scientific and theoretical contexts.
