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.

Lightyears

A light-year is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure vast distances. One light-year is equivalent to approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers or about 5.879 trillion miles.

A light-year is defined by the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, which is about 9.461 × 10^12 kilometers.

Light-years are used to measure distances between stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects. They provide a convenient way to express astronomical distances, making it easier to understand the scale of the universe.
