What is a Parsec?
A parsec (pc) is an astronomical unit equivalent to 3.26 light-years or 30.9 trillion km. Originally derived from stellar parallax measurements, it's fundamental in galactic astronomy.
What is a Chain?
The chain (22 yards or 20.1168 m) was crucial in land surveying. Invented by Edmund Gunter in 1620, 10 square chains equal 1 acre. Modern surveyors still use 'chain' terminology.
