Convert chain to kiloparsec
Please provide values below to convert chain [ch] to kiloparsec [kpc], or Convert kiloparsec to chain.
1 ch = 6.5194e-19 kpc. To convert chain to kiloparsec, multiply the value by 6.5194e-19; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kpc = 1.5339e+18 ch). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ch = 6.5194e-19 kpc
- 1 kpc = 1.5339e+18 ch
- 10 ch = 6.5194e-18 kpc
- 100 ch = 6.5194e-17 kpc
How to Convert Chain to Kiloparsec
1 ch = 6.51941088143602e-19 kpc
Example: convert 15 ch to kpc:
15 ch = 15 × 6.51941088143602e-19 kpc = 9.77911632215402e-18 kpc

Chain
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
Kiloparsec
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 chain in kiloparsec?
1 chain (ch) = 6.5194e-19 kiloparsec (kpc).
How do you convert chain to kiloparsec?
Multiply the chain value by 6.5194e-19. For example, 25 ch × 6.5194e-19 = 1.6299e-17 kpc.
What is 10 chain in kiloparsec?
10 ch = 6.5194e-18 kpc.
Which unit is larger, the chain or the kiloparsec?
The kiloparsec is the larger unit: 1 ch equals only 6.5194e-19 kpc.
