Convert megaparsec to link
Enter a value below to convert megaparsec [Mpc] to link [li]. Reverse conversion: Convert link to megaparsec.
1 Mpc = 1.5339e+23 li. To convert megaparsec to link, multiply the value by 1.5339e+23; to go the other way, divide by it (1 li = 6.5194e-24 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.
Link: Definition and Use
A link, specifically Gunter's link, is a unit of length equal to 7.92 inches, or 1/100 of a chain.
History/Origin
The link is part of Gunter's chain, a surveying tool invented by Edmund Gunter in the 17th century.
Current Use
The link is an obsolete unit of measurement, but may be found in old land surveys.
