What is a Roman actus?

A Roman actus is an ancient Roman unit of length, roughly equal to 35.5 metres, historically used in land measurement and surveying.

What does kiloparsec measure?

A kiloparsec (kpc) measures extremely large distances in astronomy, such as the size of galaxies and separation between stars.

Why convert Roman actus to kiloparsec?

This conversion is useful for contextualizing ancient terrestrial lengths in terms of vast astronomical distances, especially in historical and scientific studies.

Select the input unit as Roman actus and the output unit as kiloparsec [kpc].
Click the convert button to view the equivalent distance in kiloparsecs.

Key Features

Converts Roman actus, a historical Roman length unit, to kiloparsecs used in astronomy.
Browser-based and easy-to-use interface for quick conversions.
Supports insights into vastly different measurement scales from terrestrial to cosmic.

Examples

10 Roman actus equals approximately 1.1497870099987e-17 kiloparsec [kpc].
100 Roman actus converts to about 1.1497870099987e-16 kiloparsec [kpc].

Common Use Cases

Comparing ancient Roman land measurements with astronomical distance units.
Historical metrology research connecting terrestrial and cosmic length scales.
Studies in archaeoastronomy and celestial cartography involving unit conversions.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the converter to understand the scale difference between human land measurement and astronomical distances.
Double-check unit selections to ensure accurate conversions between terrestrial and astronomical units.
Apply this tool mainly for educational, historical, or astronomical context rather than practical everyday use.

Limitations

Roman actus is an ancient unit with limited modern applicability outside historical contexts.
Kiloparsecs represent exceptionally large distances, making conversions impractical for common length measurements.
Conversion accuracy is limited due to approximations in the Roman actus length and astronomical constants.
