Answer: Here you go!
Explanation: For distances within our solar system, or other solar systems, the common unit is the 'Astronomical Unit' (A.U.) 2. For most everything else, stars, galaxies etc..., the distance unit is the parsec (pc). This is a convenient unit when measuring distances to stars by triangulation (what astronomers call parallax).
