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 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.
