kHm

kHm is a unit of measurement used in the field of astronomy to describe the distance between stars. It stands for "kiloparsec," where a parsec is approximately 3.26 light-years. One kiloparsec is therefore equal to 3,260 light-years. This unit is particularly useful for measuring distances within our galaxy, the Milky Way, and beyond, as it provides a more manageable scale compared to the vast distances involved in astronomy. The term "kHm" is not commonly used in scientific literature, but it is sometimes encountered in informal discussions or educational materials to simplify the concept of kiloparsecs.
