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 Chain?
The chain (22 yards or 20.1168 m) was crucial in land surveying. Invented by Edmund Gunter in 1620, 10 square chains equal 1 acre. Modern surveyors still use 'chain' terminology.
