Convert kiloparsec to link (US survey)
Please provide values below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to link (US survey) [li (US)], or Convert link (US survey) to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 1.5339e+20 li (US). To convert kiloparsec to link (US survey), multiply the value by 1.5339e+20; to go the other way, divide by it (1 li (US) = 6.5194e-21 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 = 1.5339e+20 li (US)
- 1 li (US) = 6.5194e-21 kpc
- 10 kpc = 1.5339e+21 li (US)
- 100 kpc = 1.5339e+22 li (US)
How to Convert Kiloparsec to Link (Us Survey)
1 kpc = 1.53387785855075e+20 li (US)
Example: convert 15 kpc to li (US):
15 kpc = 15 × 1.53387785855075e+20 li (US) = 2.30081678782613e+21 li (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.
Link (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey link is a unit of length equal to 1/100 of a U.S. survey chain.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey link is based on the U.S. survey foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey link was used for land surveying in the United States.
