One attoparsec is about 3cm.

No one uses attoparsecs any more than they use beard-seconds or Hubble-barns.

You made me look these up and they are hilarious. Thanks for making my day! Here are a few more on the same page, along with beard-seconds and Hubble-barns.

as a rule of thumb: the diameter of a banana is about one attoparsec. the length of a banana is about one banana, for scale.
