Parsec is the unit of (A) Time (B) Distance (C) Frequency (D) Angular acceleration
A parsec is an astronomical unit of distance where 1 parsec $=$ $3.26$ light years ( 1 light year equals the distance traveled by light in one year). If the speed of light is $186,000 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{s}$, calculate the distance in meters of an object that travels $9.6$ parsecs.
