Convert hectometer to kiloparsec
Enter a value below to convert hectometer [hm] to kiloparsec [kpc]. Reverse conversion: Convert kiloparsec to hectometer.
1 hm = 3.2408e-18 kpc. To convert hectometer to kiloparsec, multiply the value by 3.2408e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kpc = 3.0857e+17 hm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Hectometer: Definition and Use
A hectometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "hecto-" from the Greek "hekaton" meaning hundred, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The hectometer is not a widely used unit of length in English-speaking countries. It is sometimes used in surveying and for marking distances on highways in some countries.
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.
Hectometer to Kiloparsec: Frequently Asked Questions
