Gigameters unit in Length

A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length equal to one billion meters, or 10^9 meters. Gigameters are used in astronomy and space science to describe large distances within the solar system, such as the distance from the Earth to distant planets. This unit provides a manageable way to express the vast expanses between objects in space.

Parsecs unit in Length

A parsec (pc) is a unit of length used in astronomy, equal to approximately 3.26 light-years, or about 31 trillion kilometers. Parsecs are used to measure distances to stars and other celestial objects outside our solar system. This unit is derived from the method of parallax, where the apparent shift in position of a star relative to more distant stars is used to calculate its distance from Earth.
