Parsec and light year are distinctly different units of distance like smaller units mile and km. Mile/km = 1.609, nearly. Likewise, Parsec/light year =3.261, nearly.

Explanation:

Parsec definition is related to angular-spacing and Earth-Sun distance. Light year is the distance light could travel in 1 year.
