Convert megameter to micron
Please provide values below to convert megameter [Mm] to micron [µ], or Convert micron to megameter.
1 Mm = 1e+12 µ. To convert megameter to micron, multiply the value by 1e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µ = 1.0000e-12 Mm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Mm = 1e+12 µ
- 1 µ = 1.0000e-12 Mm
- 10 Mm = 1.0000e+13 µ
- 100 Mm = 1.0000e+14 µ
How to Convert Megameter to Micron
1 Mm = 1000000000000 µ
Example: convert 15 Mm to µ:
15 Mm = 15 × 1000000000000 µ = 15000000000000 µ

Megameter
A megameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^6 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "mega-" for 10^6 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1873.
Current Use
The megameter is sometimes used to specify the diameters of planets and the distances of satellites.
Micron
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 megameter in micron?
1 megameter (Mm) = 1e+12 micron (µ).
How do you convert megameter to micron?
Multiply the megameter value by 1e+12. For example, 25 Mm × 1e+12 = 2.5000e+13 µ.
What is 10 megameter in micron?
10 Mm = 1.0000e+13 µ.
Which unit is larger, the megameter or the micron?
The megameter is the larger unit: 1 Mm = 1e+12 µ.
