Answer:

a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light years (3.086 × 1013 kilometres). One parsec corresponds to the distance at which the mean radius of the earth's orbit subtends an angle of one second of arc.

Explanation:

a unit of measurement equal to 149.6 million kilometres, the mean distance from the centre of the earth to the centre of the sun.

a unit of astronomical distance equivalent to the distance that light travels in one year, which is 9.4607 × 1012 km (nearly 6 million million miles).
