Convert kiloparsec to league
Please provide values below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to league [lea], or Convert league to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 6.3912e+15 lea. To convert kiloparsec to league, multiply the value by 6.3912e+15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 lea = 1.5647e-16 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 = 6.3912e+15 lea
- 1 lea = 1.5647e-16 kpc
- 10 kpc = 6.3912e+16 lea

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.
League
A league is a unit of length that was common in Europe and Latin America, but is no longer an official unit in any nation. It was the distance a person could walk in an hour.
History/Origin
The league varied in length from country to country and even within the same country over time. The most common definition was three miles.
Current Use
The league is no longer in common use but is found in historical texts and literature.
