kilometer to megaparsec
Please provide values below to convert kilometer [km] to megaparsec [Mpc], or change ↔.
kilometer [km]
Definition: A unit of length in the metric system, equal to 1,000 meters.
Historyandorigin: The kilometer is derived from the metric system, based on the meter, which was established in 1795 by the French.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in most countries around the world to measure distances on land.
funfact: The kilometer is widely used in everyday measurements, especially in road signs for distances!
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 kilometer to megaparsec
1 kilometer [km] = 3.240779289E-20 megaparsec [Mpc]
1 megaparsec [Mpc] = 30856775812799590000 kilometer [km]
we use cross multiplication method
kilometer [km] → megaparsec [Mpc]
1 → 3.240779289E-20
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*3.240779289E-20=1*x
by simplifying
x=4.861168934E-20
