How to use this Megaparsecs to Astronomical Units Converter π€
Follow these steps to convert given length from the units of Megaparsecs to the units of Astronomical Units.
Enter the input Megaparsecs value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Megaparsecs into Astronomical Units in realtime β using the conversion formula, and displays under the Astronomical Units label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Astronomical Units value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Astronomical Units value using the Copy button.
To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
What is the Formula to convert Megaparsecs to Astronomical Units?
The formula to convert given length from Megaparsecs to Astronomical Units is:
Substitute the given value of length in megaparsecs, i.e., Length(Megaparsecs) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in astronomical units, i.e., Length(Astronomical Units).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider that the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy is about 0.78 megaparsecs. Convert this distance from megaparsecs to Astronomical Units.
Answer:
Given:

Megaparsecs
A megaparsec (Mpc) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure extremely large astronomical distances. One megaparsec is equivalent to one million parsecs, or approximately 3.262 million light-years or about 3.086 Γ 10^22 meters.
The megaparsec is defined as one million times the length of a parsec, where one parsec is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
Megaparsecs are used to measure vast distances between galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and other large-scale structures in the universe. They provide a convenient scale for expressing the immense distances encountered in cosmology and extragalactic astronomy.
Astronomical Units
An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure distances within our solar system. One astronomical unit is equivalent to approximately 149,597,870.7 kilometers or about 92,955,807.3 miles.
The astronomical unit is defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Astronomical units are used to express distances between celestial bodies within the solar system, such as the distances between planets and their orbits. They provide a convenient scale for describing and comparing distances in a way that is more manageable than using kilometers or miles.
