Convert kiloparsec to attometer
Enter a value below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to attometer [am]. Reverse conversion: Convert attometer to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 3.0857e+37 am. To convert kiloparsec to attometer, multiply the value by 3.0857e+37; to go the other way, divide by it (1 am = 3.2408e-38 kpc). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
Attometer: Definition and Use
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
