What is a Russian archin?

It is an outdated Russian unit of length equal to 16 vershoks or 28 English inches, roughly 0.7112 meters, once used for measuring textiles and trade.

A parsec is an astronomical length unit representing the distance where one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond, approximately 3.085677581×10^16 meters.

Why convert from Russian archin to parsec?

This conversion helps relate historical terrestrial measurements from Russia to astronomical distances, useful in academic fields like astronomy and historical research.

Enter the value in Russian archins you want to convert.
Select 'Russian archin' as the input unit and 'parsec [pc]' as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent length in parsecs.

Key Features

Converts Russian archin to parsec accurately based on defined conversion rates.
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
Supports research involving historical and astronomical length units.

Examples

10 Russian archins converts to 2.3048422308107e-16 parsecs.
100 Russian archins equals 2.3048422308107e-15 parsecs.

Common Use Cases

Translating lengths from old Russian documents related to land measurement into cosmic distances.
Supporting academic studies comparing historic measurement systems with astronomical units.
Assisting in disciplines like astronomy, astrophysics, and metrology where old and modern units intersect.

Tips & Best Practices

Double-check historical measurements before converting for academic accuracy.
Use the converter mainly for theoretical or educational purposes given the unit scale differences.
Refer to primary sources when working with historic Russian archin measurements.

Limitations

The Russian archin is an obsolete terrestrial unit, while the parsec is an immense astronomical distance measure, limiting practical conversion use.
Conversion accuracy may be affected due to approximate definitions of both units in meters.
Direct real-world applications of this conversion are rare and mostly for theoretical study.
