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.
Kiloyard
A kiloyard is a unit of length equal to 1,000 yards.
History/Origin
The kiloyard is not a standard or common unit of measurement. It is a logical multiple of the yard.
Current Use
The kiloyard is rarely used.
