Convert kiloparsec to fathom (US survey)
Please provide values below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to fathom (US survey) [fath (US)], or Convert fathom (US survey) to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 1.6873e+19 fath (US). To convert kiloparsec to fathom (US survey), multiply the value by 1.6873e+19; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fath (US) = 5.9267e-20 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 = 1.6873e+19 fath (US)
- 1 fath (US) = 5.9267e-20 kpc
- 10 kpc = 1.6873e+20 fath (US)
- 100 kpc = 1.6873e+21 fath (US)
How to Convert Kiloparsec to Fathom (Us Survey)
1 kpc = 1.68726564410388e+19 fath (US)
Example: convert 15 kpc to fath (US):
15 kpc = 15 × 1.68726564410388e+19 fath (US) = 2.53089846615582e+20 fath (US)

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.
Fathom (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey fathom is a unit of length equal to 6 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey fathom is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was slightly different from the international foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey fathom was used in surveying in the United States.
