Convert chain to megaparsec
Enter a value below to convert chain [ch] to megaparsec [Mpc]. Reverse conversion: Convert megaparsec to chain.
1 ch = 6.5194e-22 Mpc. To convert chain to megaparsec, multiply the value by 6.5194e-22; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Mpc = 1.5339e+21 ch). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Chain: Definition and Use
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
Megaparsec: Definition and Use
A megaparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one million parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first coined by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner in 1913. The megaparsec came into use as astronomical distance measurements extended to other galaxies.
Current Use
The megaparsec is used to measure the distances between neighboring galaxies and galaxy clusters.
Chain to Megaparsec: Frequently Asked Questions
