Convert twip to kiloparsec
Please provide values below to convert twip [twip] to kiloparsec [kpc], or Convert kiloparsec to twip.
1 twip = 5.7164e-25 kpc. To convert twip to kiloparsec, multiply the value by 5.7164e-25; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kpc = 1.7494e+24 twip). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 twip = 5.7164e-25 kpc
- 1 kpc = 1.7494e+24 twip
- 10 twip = 5.7164e-24 kpc

Twip
A twip (twentieth of a point) is a unit of typographical measurement equal to 1/1440 of an inch.
History/Origin
The twip was invented by Microsoft as a device-independent unit for layout calculations in its software.
Current Use
The twip is used internally by some software programs for screen and print layout.
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.
