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.

League

A league is an old unit of distance that was commonly used in the past, especially for measuring distances on land or sea. Traditionally, one league equals about 3 miles or roughly 4.8 kilometers. The exact length of a league could vary by country and time period. It was often used by sailors and travelers to describe how far they had gone. Although the league is mostly obsolete today, it still appears in literature and historical contexts.
