1/72 Millennium Falcon

A parsec is 3.26 light years - the distance light travels in a year.

In miles, that's roughly 3.26 x 6 000 000 000 000 = 19 560 000 000 000 miles

You don't want to be going that far to pick up that paint colour you forgot!

THANKS DAVE NOW i know how far i want Tiger to sail lol :rolling: :smiling2::smiling2::smiling2:

Formula

for an approximate result, multiply the length value by 3.086e+16

Apparently .

Great work so far on this icon. I've seen a build blog on one of these and the detail is outstanding

3.086 × 1016 metres

You probably meant to say 3.086 × 10¹⁶ metres, which is in a rather different league than 3.086 × 1016 metres The latter is 3.135 km, the former is 30,860,000,000,000,000 km …

[Mark1]

Yeah thats what it said when i copied it but it pasted differently lol

That’s exactly what 3.086e+16 means…….

A useless measurement :tongue-out:

True, but I suspect the vast majority of people doesn’t know what the [ICODE]e[/ICODE] means there at all … And pasting text that had the exponent marked up as superscript instead of using actual superscript numerals loses that information too, resulting in things like [ICODE]1016[/ICODE] and probably causing more confusion
