Ah HA, quite correct for dictionary definition Jon. Here is what
dictionary.com has to say;

par·sec (pärsk)
n.
A unit of astronomical length based on the distance from Earth at which
stellar parallax is one second of arc and equal to 3.258 light-years, 3.086
× 1013 kilometers, or 1.918 × 1013 miles.
