A pace is a unit of length consisting either of one normal walking step (~0.75 m), or of a double step, returning to the same foot (~1.5 m). Like other traditional measurements, paces started as informal units but have since been standardized, often with the specific length set according to a typical brisk or military marching stride.
The parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used to measure large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System.
