megaparsec to parsec
Please provide values below to convert megaparsec [Mpc] to parsec [pc], or change ↔.
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!
parsec [pc]
Definition: A unit of length used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light years, or approximately 3.086 × 10^13 kilometers.
Historyandorigin: The parsec was coined in the 1910s, derived from the words 'parallax' and 'arcsecond'.
CurrentUse: Commonly used by astronomers to measure distances to stars and galaxies outside our solar system.
funfact: A parsec is based on the measurement of the parallax angle of a star.

How to Convert megaparsec to parsec
1 megaparsec [Mpc] = 1000000 parsec [pc]
1 parsec [pc] = 0.000001 megaparsec [Mpc]
we use cross multiplication method
megaparsec [Mpc] → parsec [pc]
1 → 1000000
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1000000=1*x
by simplifying
x=1500000
