Convert link to kiloparsec
Please provide values below to convert link [li] to kiloparsec [kpc], or Convert kiloparsec to link.
1 li = 6.5194e-21 kpc. To convert link to kiloparsec, multiply the value by 6.5194e-21; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kpc = 1.5339e+20 li). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 li = 6.5194e-21 kpc
- 1 kpc = 1.5339e+20 li
- 10 li = 6.5194e-20 kpc
- 100 li = 6.5194e-19 kpc
How to Convert Link to Kiloparsec
1 li = 6.51941088143602e-21 kpc

Link
A link, specifically Gunter's link, is a unit of length equal to 7.92 inches, or 1/100 of a chain.
History/Origin
The link is part of Gunter's chain, a surveying tool invented by Edmund Gunter in the 17th century.
Current Use
The link is an obsolete unit of measurement, but may be found in old land surveys.
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.
