Kiloparsec
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
Exameter
An exameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "exa-" for 10^18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1975.
Current Use
The exameter is used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between galaxies.
