parsec to megaparsec
Please provide values below to convert parsec [pc] to megaparsec [Mpc], or change ↔.
parsec [pc]
Definition: A parsec is a unit of length used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light years.
Historyandorigin: The term 'parsec' comes from 'parallax of one arcsecond.'
CurrentUse: It is used in astronomy to measure the distances to stars.
funfact: One parsec is approximately 3.26 light years.
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 parsec to megaparsec
1 parsec [pc] = 0.000001 megaparsec [Mpc]
1 megaparsec [Mpc] = 1000000 parsec [pc]
we use cross multiplication method
parsec [pc] → megaparsec [Mpc]
1 → 0.000001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.000001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0000015
