Convert parsec to nanon

Learn how to convert 1 parsec to nanon step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p a r s e c) = x (n a n o n)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (p a r s e c) = 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16} (m e t e r) = 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (n a n o n) = 10^{- 9} (m e t e r) = 10^{- 9} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p a r s e c) = x (n a n o n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 10^{- 9} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 10^{- 9} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16} \cdot (m) = x \times 10^{- 9} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16} = x \times 10^{- 9}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 9} = 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}})

x \times 10^{- 9} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}} = 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 9} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}} = 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16}}{10^{- 9}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}} can be rewritten to 10^{9}

Rewrite

x = 10^{9} \times 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16}

Simplify

x = 10^{25} \times 3.08567400801506

Solve

x

x \approx 3.085674008 \times 10^{25} \approx 3.0857 \times 10^{25}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p a r s e c) \approx 3.0857 \times 10^{25} (n a n o n)
