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 × 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.
