Convert kiloparsec to Earth's distance from sun
Please provide values below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist], or Convert Earth's distance from sun to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 206264806.233 AU_dist. To convert kiloparsec to Earth's distance from sun, multiply the value by 206264806.233; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU_dist = 4.84813681143e-09 kpc). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kpc = 206264806.233 AU_dist

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.
Earth's Distance From Sun
The Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year. The average distance is defined as one astronomical unit (AU), which is about 149.6 million kilometers.
History/Origin
The measurement of the Earth-Sun distance has a long history, with early estimates made by ancient Greek astronomers. Modern measurements are highly precise.
Current Use
The Earth-Sun distance is a fundamental unit in astronomy and is used to measure distances within the solar system.
