How to Convert Megaparsecs to Parsecs
To convert megaparsecs to parsecs, you multiply the value by 1,000,000.
Formula
Parsecs = Megaparsecs × 1,000,000
or
pc = Mpc × 1,000,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in megaparsecs.
- Multiply it by 1,000,000.
- The result is the distance in parsecs.
Examples
- 1 Mpc = 1,000,000 pc
- 10 Mpc = 10,000,000 pc
- 0.5 Mpc = 500,000 pc
When to Convert Megaparsecs to Parsecs
