What is the Formula to convert Megaparsecs to Kilometers?

The formula to convert given length from Megaparsecs to Kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Megaparsecs) × 30856775819144655000

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 kilometers, i.e., Length(Kilometers).

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 Kilometers.

Answer:

Given:

The length in megaparsecs is:

Length(Megaparsecs) = 0.78

Formula:

The formula to convert length from megaparsecs to kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Megaparsecs) × 30856775819144655000

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Megaparsecs) = 0.78 in the above formula.

Length(Kilometers) = 0.78 × 30856775819144655000

Length(Kilometers) = 24068285138932830000

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.78 Mpc is equal to 24068285138932830000 km.

The length is 24068285138932830000 km, in kilometers.

2

Consider that a galaxy cluster is located 100 megaparsecs from Earth.
Convert this distance from megaparsecs to Kilometers.

Answer:

Given:

The length in megaparsecs is:

Length(Megaparsecs) = 100

Formula:

The formula to convert length from megaparsecs to kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Megaparsecs) × 30856775819144655000

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Megaparsecs) = 100 in the above formula.

Length(Kilometers) = 100 × 30856775819144655000

Length(Kilometers) = 3.0856775819144656e+21

Final Answer:

Therefore, 100 Mpc is equal to 3.0856775819144656e+21 km.

The length is 3.0856775819144656e+21 km, in kilometers.

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.

Kilometers

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.

The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.

Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
