I’ll simplify what they are all saying.
– Pretend there is a straight line that connects your eyes.
– Pretend a straight line is shooting directly out of your right eye forward.
– Pretend theres a straight line at an angle that meets the end of the line from your right eye.

It makes a triangle. Your right eye is the sun. Left eye is the earth. The distance between your eyes is the average distance between them.

The point where the two lines meet is a parsec.
