Convert kiloparsec to kiloyard
Please provide values below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to kiloyard [kyd], or Convert kiloyard to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 3.3745e+16 kyd. To convert kiloparsec to kiloyard, multiply the value by 3.3745e+16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kyd = 2.9634e-17 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 = 3.3745e+16 kyd
- 1 kyd = 2.9634e-17 kpc
- 10 kpc = 3.3745e+17 kyd
- 100 kpc = 3.3745e+18 kyd
How to Convert Kiloparsec to Kiloyard

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.
Kiloyard
A kiloyard is a unit of length equal to 1,000 yards.
History/Origin
The kiloyard is not a standard or common unit of measurement. It is a logical multiple of the yard.
Current Use
The kiloyard is rarely used.
