Convert foot (US survey) to kiloparsec
Please provide values below to convert foot (US survey) [ft (US)] to kiloparsec [kpc], or Convert kiloparsec to foot (US survey).
1 ft (US) = 9.8779e-21 kpc. To convert foot (US survey) to kiloparsec, multiply the value by 9.8779e-21; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kpc = 1.0124e+20 ft (US)). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ft (US) = 9.8779e-21 kpc
- 1 kpc = 1.0124e+20 ft (US)
- 10 ft (US) = 9.8779e-20 kpc
- 100 ft (US) = 9.8779e-19 kpc
How to Convert Foot (Us Survey) to Kiloparsec

Foot (Us Survey)
The U.S. survey foot was a unit of length defined as exactly 1200/3937 meters.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey foot was used for land surveying in the United States for most of the 20th century. Its use was officially phased out in 2022 to standardize with the international foot.
Current Use
The U.S. survey foot is now an obsolete unit.
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.
