light year to megaparsec
Please provide values below to convert light year [ly] to megaparsec [Mpc], or change ↔.
light year [ly]
Definition: A light year is the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum, approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers.
Historyandorigin: The concept of the light year was introduced in the early 20th century to describe astronomical distances.
CurrentUse: It is used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between stars and galaxies.
funfact: A light year is not a measure of time but of distance.
megaparsec [Mpc]
Definition: A megaparsec is a unit of length equal to one million parsecs.
Historyandorigin: It is used in astronomy to describe extremely large distances.
CurrentUse: It is used in cosmology to measure the distances between galaxies and galaxy clusters.
funfact: The prefix 'mega-' comes from the Greek word 'megas,' meaning 'great.'

How to Convert light year to megaparsec
1 light year [ly] = 3.066013938E-7 megaparsec [Mpc]
1 megaparsec [Mpc] = 3261563.7769 light year [ly]
we use cross multiplication method
light year [ly] → megaparsec [Mpc]
1 → 3.066013938E-7
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*3.066013938E-7=1*x
by simplifying
x=4.599020907E-7
