1 kpc = 1000 pc
Full precision:1000 pc
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 kiloparsecs to parsecs, we multiply by 1000 because one kiloparsec equals exactly 1000 parsecs.

1 kiloparsec = 1000 parsecs

Since each kiloparsec contains 1000 parsecs, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 1000 = 1000 parsecs

So 1 kiloparsecs = 1000 parsecs.

✓Quick check: 1000 ÷ 1000 = 1 kiloparsecs
↔ Parsecs to Kiloparsecs

How to Convert Kiloparsecs to Parsecs

To convert kiloparsecs to parsecs, multiply the value by 1000.

The Formula

Parsecs = Kiloparsecs × 1000

Key Fact

1 kiloparsec = 1000 parsecs

Tip: To convert parsecs back to kiloparsecs, divide by 1000.

Example Conversions

Example 1: 1 kpc = 1000 pc
1 × 1000 = 1000
Example 2: 5 kpc = 5000 pc
5 × 1000 = 5000
Example 3: 10 kpc = 10000 pc
10 × 1000 = 10000
