Convert angstrom to kiloparsec
Enter a value below to convert angstrom [A] to kiloparsec [kpc]. Reverse conversion: Convert kiloparsec to angstrom.
1 A = 3.2408e-30 kpc. To convert angstrom to kiloparsec, multiply the value by 3.2408e-30; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kpc = 3.0857e+29 A). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Angstrom: Definition and Use
The angstrom is a unit of length equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters. It is not an SI unit.
History/Origin
In 1868, Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström created a chart of the spectrum of sunlight in which he expressed the wavelengths in multiples of one ten-millionth of a millimeter. The unit was named after him.
Current Use
The angstrom is used to express the sizes of atoms, molecules, and the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the fields of chemistry, spectroscopy, and crystallography.
Kiloparsec: Definition and Use
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
