( 1.05 x 10¹⁵ km ) x ( 1 LY / 9.5 x 10¹² km ) x ( 1 psc / 3.262 LY ) =
(1.05) / (9.5 x 3.262) x (km · LY · psc) / (km · LY) x (10¹⁵⁻¹²) =
(0.03388) x (psc) x (10³) =
33.88 parsecs
The question extends beyond what I already know.
The question makes me curious.
He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.
