Exameter

An exameter (Em) is a very large unit of length in the metric system. It equals one quintillion meters (1 exameter = 10¹⁸ meters). Exameters are used mainly in astronomy and physics to describe enormous distances, such as those between galaxies or across the universe. Because this unit is so huge, it’s not used for everyday measurements. The exameter helps scientists talk about the vast scale of space in a simpler way.

Parsec

A parsec (pc) is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light-years or roughly 31 trillion kilometers. The name “parsec” comes from “parallax of one arcsecond,” referring to the method astronomers use to measure distances to nearby stars based on their apparent shift when viewed from different positions in Earth’s orbit. Parsecs are commonly used to measure distances to stars and galaxies. For example, the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, is about 1.3 parsecs away. The symbol for parsec is "pc". It’s a convenient unit for expressing large astronomical distances beyond the reach of light-years.
