Convert chain to kiloparsec
Enter a value below to convert chain [ch] to kiloparsec [kpc]. Reverse conversion: Convert kiloparsec to chain.
1 ch = 6.5194e-19 kpc. To convert chain to kiloparsec, multiply the value by 6.5194e-19; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kpc = 1.5339e+18 ch). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Chain: Definition and Use
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
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.
