Google's unit converter contains a bug where calculations involving parsecs yield incorrect results. While the converter correctly identifies 1 parsec as approximately 3e16 meters, performing mathematical operations on this unit, even multiplying by one, results in an erroneous value of 5e14 meters. This error appears to stem from a confusion between degrees and radians when interpreting angles, leading to a calculation that is off by a factor of 57.3, the number of degrees in a radian. AI
