Convert megaparsec to fathom (US survey)
Enter a value below to convert megaparsec [Mpc] to fathom (US survey) [fath (US)]. Reverse conversion: Convert fathom (US survey) to megaparsec.
1 Mpc = 1.6873e+22 fath (US). To convert megaparsec to fathom (US survey), multiply the value by 1.6873e+22; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fath (US) = 5.9267e-23 Mpc). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
Fathom (Us Survey): Definition and Use
A U.S. survey fathom is a unit of length equal to 6 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey fathom is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was slightly different from the international foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey fathom was used in surveying in the United States.
