Convert kiloparsec to inch (US survey)
Enter a value below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to inch (US survey) [in (US)]. Reverse conversion: Convert inch (US survey) to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 1.2148e+21 in (US). To convert kiloparsec to inch (US survey), multiply the value by 1.2148e+21; to go the other way, divide by it (1 in (US) = 8.2316e-22 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.
Inch (Us Survey): Definition and Use
The U.S. survey inch is a unit of length equal to 1/12 of a U.S. survey foot.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey inch is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was defined such that 1 meter is exactly 39.37 inches. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey inch was used for land surveying in the United States.
