Convert kiloparsec to terameter
Please provide values below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to terameter [Tm], or Convert terameter to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 30856775.8128 Tm. To convert kiloparsec to terameter, multiply the value by 30856775.8128; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Tm = 3.24077928967e-08 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 = 30856775.8128 Tm

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.
Terameter
A terameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "tera-" for 10^12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The terameter is used for measuring distances within our solar system, such as the distances of outer planets from the Sun.
