Convert nautical mile (UK) to parsec
Please provide values below to convert nautical mile (UK) [NM (UK)] to parsec [pc], or Convert parsec to nautical mile (UK).
1 NM (UK) = 6.0058e-14 pc. To convert nautical mile (UK) to parsec, multiply the value by 6.0058e-14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pc = 1.6651e+13 NM (UK)). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Nautical Mile (Uk)
The UK nautical mile, or Admiralty mile, was defined as 6,080 feet.
History/Origin
The British Admiralty defined its nautical mile as a thousandth of an imperial nautical mile. The UK adopted the international nautical mile of 1,852 meters in 1970.
Current Use
The UK nautical mile is an obsolete unit.
Parsec
A parsec is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System, approximately equal to 3.26 light-years. It is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
History/Origin
The term "parsec" is a portmanteau of "parallax" and "second," coined by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner in 1913.
Current Use
The parsec is the preferred unit of distance in astronomy and astrophysics for expressing the distances to stars and galaxies.
