Definition of parsec in English:

parsec

noun ˈpɑːsɛkˈpɑrsɛk

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.
秒差距（天文学距离单位，1秒差距约等于3.25光年，即3.08×10¹⁶米；1秒差距对应地球轨道平均半径对向1角秒的距离）
Example sentencesExamples
- But cosmologists are so comfortable with millions and billions that none of them feel the urge to invent a unit much beyond the light-year or the parsec.
- The fact remained that the Rage fleet was within a parsec of Nova.
- For reference, one parsec is around three light years.
- I mean, all the ones that I've looked at so far are within 100 parsecs of 300 light years of the Sun.
- Their absolute magnitude is that of their appearance at 10 parsecs, or 32.6 light-years.

Origin

Early 20th century: blend of parallax and second².
