Kiloparsecs unit in Length

A kiloparsec (kpc) is a unit of length equal to one thousand parsecs, or approximately 3,260 light-years. Kiloparsecs are commonly used in astronomy to measure distances within our galaxy, the Milky Way, as well as distances to nearby galaxies. This unit provides a practical way to express large interstellar distances while remaining within a comprehensible scale for astronomical studies.

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.
