What is a Kiloparsec?
The kiloparsec (kpc) equals 1,000 parsecs (∼3,260 light-years). This unit is commonly used to describe distances within galaxies, such as the Milky Way's diameter of about 30 kpc.
What is a US Survey Chain?
The US survey chain (∼20.1168 m) used the US survey foot. This measurement was key in the rectangular survey system that mapped the American frontier.
