A kiloparsec (symbol: kpc) is one thousand parsecs, a unit of distance used to measure the distance between galactic bodies. 1 kiloparsec = 1000 parsecs = 3260 light years.
A light-year (abbreviation: ly), sometimes referred to incorrectly as a light year, is a unit of length used informally to express astronomical distances. It is approximately 9 trillion kilometers or 6 trillion ..more definition+
In relation to the base unit of [length] => (meters), 1 Kiloparsecs (kpc) is equal to 3.086E+19 meters, while 1 Light Years (ly) = 9461000000000000 meters.| 1 Kiloparsecs | to common length units |
