Convert kiloparsec to rod
Please provide values below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to rod [rd], or Convert rod to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 6.1355e+18 rd. To convert kiloparsec to rod, multiply the value by 6.1355e+18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 rd = 1.6299e-19 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 = 6.1355e+18 rd
- 1 rd = 1.6299e-19 kpc

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.
Rod
A rod, also known as a perch or pole, is a unit of length equal to 16.5 feet, or 5.5 yards.
History/Origin
The rod has been used as a unit of measurement in England since at least the 13th century. It was a convenient length for measuring land.
Current Use
The rod is now an archaic unit of measurement, though it may still be encountered in old land deeds.
