1 AU = 4.8481e-6 pc
Full precision:0.0000048481 pc
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 au to parsecs, we divide by 206264.81 because one parsec equals exactly 206264.81 au.
1 parsec = 206264.81 au
Since there are 206264.81 au in every parsec, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 206264.81 = 4.8481e-6 parsecs
So 1 au = 4.8481e-6 parsecs.
Quick check: 4.8481e-6 × 206264.81 = 1 au
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 AU = 4.8481e-6 pc
1 ÷ 206264.81 = 4.8481e-6
1 ÷ 206264.81 = 4.8481e-6
Example 2: 5 AU = 2.4241e-5 pc
5 ÷ 206264.81 = 2.4241e-5
5 ÷ 206264.81 = 2.4241e-5
Example 3: 10 AU = 4.8481e-5 pc
10 ÷ 206264.81 = 4.8481e-5
10 ÷ 206264.81 = 4.8481e-5
