Convert kiloparsec to mile (statute)
Enter a value below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to mile (statute) [mi (US)]. Reverse conversion: Convert mile (statute) to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 1.9173e+16 mi (US). To convert kiloparsec to mile (statute), multiply the value by 1.9173e+16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mi (US) = 5.2155e-17 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.
Mile (Statute): Definition and Use
A statute mile is a unit of length equal to 5,280 feet.
History/Origin
The statute mile was defined by an Act of the English Parliament in 1592 during the reign of Elizabeth I.
Current Use
The statute mile is the standard unit for measuring road distances in the United States and the United Kingdom.
