1 arc sec distance is 1 parsec = 206265 AU, nearly.
k arc minute distance = k X 60 parsec.
Explanation:
1 arc sec in radian measure is 4.48136811 E-06 radian. If the arc that subtends this angle at the observer is 1 AU long, the distance of the deep-sky object is defined as 1 parsec.
Use the circle formula R
So, 1 parsec =
