What is a Parsec?
A parsec (pc) is an astronomical unit equivalent to 3.26 light-years or 30.9 trillion km. Originally derived from stellar parallax measurements, it's fundamental in galactic astronomy.
What is an Astronomical Unit?
An astronomical unit (AU) is the average Earth-Sun distance (∼149.6 million km). Primarily used for solar system measurements, such as planetary orbital distances.
