Convert megameter to megaparsec
Enter a value below to convert megameter [Mm] to megaparsec [Mpc]. Reverse conversion: Convert megaparsec to megameter.
1 Mm = 3.2408e-17 Mpc. To convert megameter to megaparsec, multiply the value by 3.2408e-17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Mpc = 3.0857e+16 Mm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Megameter: Definition and Use
A megameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^6 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "mega-" for 10^6 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1873.
Current Use
The megameter is sometimes used to specify the diameters of planets and the distances of satellites.
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.
