This calculator allows you to convert from Parsec to Chain and in a reverse direction. To convert from Parsec to Chain, enter the amount of Parsec into the first input and to convert from Chain to Parsec, enter the amount of Chain into the second input.
1 Parsec = 1.533880926032E+15 Chain
To convert Parsec to Chain: Every 1 Parsec equals 1.533880926032E+15 Chain. For example, 100 Parsec equal 100 * 1.533880926032E+15 = 1.533880926032E+17 Chain and so on..

In the space scale, distances can't be expressed by meters or feet. Professional astronomers use the parsec unit to express these incredible distances. The parsec is a unit for expressing distances between stars and galaxies. One parsec equals 3.26 light-years, which is equivalent to 3.09 × 1013 km.
Parsec has a special way to measure distance, it depends on trigonometry. It is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
The parsec distance of an object is the reciprocal of its parallax in seconds of arc.
It is amazing to know that when we look at the night sky, we can see stars which are nearly a distance of 500 parsecs of the Sun.
There is a star is called Proxima Centauri. It exists within another solar system called Alpha Centauri triple-star system. It has a parallax of 0.769 second of arc which means it is 1.30 parsec far from us.
What is the chain?
The chain is a unit of length. It equals 66 feet. The chain was first introduced between 1579 and 1607.
Several countries have used chain for several centuries especially in England. Note that there are 80 chains in one mile.
The main use of the chain is in laying out US townships. Official governments must use US survey chain to do surveys according to the federal law passed in 1785.
