astronomical unit to megaparsec
Please provide values below to convert astronomical unit [AU] to megaparsec [Mpc], or change ↔.
astronomical unit [AU]
Definition: A unit of length used to measure distances within our solar system, defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 149.6 million kilometers.
Historyandorigin: The concept of the astronomical unit was introduced in the 19th century as a standard for measuring celestial distances.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in astronomy to describe distances between celestial bodies within our solar system.
funfact: One AU is equivalent to about 93 million miles!
megaparsec [Mpc]
Definition: A unit of distance in astronomy, equal to 1,000 kiloparsecs or approximately 3.26 million light years.
Historyandorigin: The megaparsec was introduced to measure very large astronomical distances, particularly in cosmology.
CurrentUse: Used to express the size of galaxy clusters and the distance between them.
funfact: Galaxy superclusters are often described in megaparsecs!

How to Convert astronomical unit to megaparsec
1 astronomical unit [AU] = 4.848136811E-12 megaparsec [Mpc]
1 megaparsec [Mpc] = 206264806245 astronomical unit [AU]
we use cross multiplication method
astronomical unit [AU] → megaparsec [Mpc]
1 → 4.848136811E-12
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*4.848136811E-12=1*x
by simplifying
x=7.272205216E-12
