AI Generated Solution

To derive a relation between one parsec and one light year, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the units - **Parsec (pc)**: A unit of length used in astronomy to measure large distances. It is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond. - **Light Year (ly)**: The distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year. ### Step 2: Convert parsec to meters - The value of one parsec is given as: ...
