Difference between Parsec and Sun

Parsec vs. Sun

The parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used to measure large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System. The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.

Similarities between Parsec and Sun

Parsec and Sun have 22 things in common (in Unionpedia): Absolute magnitude, Angular diameter, Astronomical unit, Astronomische Nachrichten, Astronomy, Earth, European Space Agency, Galactic Center, Giga-, Goddard Space Flight Center, Milky Way, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Naked eye, NASA, Proxima Centauri, Solar System, Speed of light, Star, Sun, Telescope, Voyager 1, 1,000,000,000.

Absolute magnitude

Absolute magnitude is a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object, on a logarithmic astronomical magnitude scale.
