What is a vara castellana?

It is a historical Spanish unit of length used mainly in Castile and former Spanish territories, commonly standardized in the 18th–19th centuries.

A parsec is an astronomical unit of length used to express distances between stars, defined by parallax as the distance where one astronomical unit subtends one arcsecond.

Why convert vara castellana to parsec?

The conversion helps link terrestrial historical measurements with astronomical distance scales for interdisciplinary research and educational demonstrations.
