gigaparsec to megaparsec
Please provide values below to convert gigaparsec [Gpc] to megaparsec [Mpc], or change ↔.
gigaparsec [Gpc]
Definition: A unit of distance used in cosmology, equal to 1,000 megaparsecs, or about 3.26 billion light years.
Historyandorigin: The gigaparsec is used for describing the most vast distances in the observable universe.
CurrentUse: Applied in measuring the distance to the farthest known galaxies and the scale of the universe.
funfact: Distances to the most distant galaxies can be measured in gigaparsecs!
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 gigaparsec to megaparsec
1 gigaparsec [Gpc] = 1000 megaparsec [Mpc]
1 megaparsec [Mpc] = 0.001 gigaparsec [Gpc]
we use cross multiplication method
gigaparsec [Gpc] → megaparsec [Mpc]
1 → 1000
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1000=1*x
by simplifying
x=1500
