Convert megameter to parsec
Please provide values below to convert megameter [Mm] to parsec [pc], or Convert parsec to megameter.
1 Mm = 3.2408e-11 pc. To convert megameter to parsec, multiply the value by 3.2408e-11; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pc = 30856775812.8 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 = 3.2408e-11 pc
- 1 pc = 30856775812.8 Mm
- 10 Mm = 3.2408e-10 pc
- 100 Mm = 3.24077928967e-09 pc
How to Convert Megameter to Parsec
1 Mm = 3.24077928966636e-11 pc
Example: convert 15 Mm to pc:
15 Mm = 15 × 3.24077928966636e-11 pc = 4.86116893449953e-10 pc

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.
Parsec
A parsec is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System, approximately equal to 3.26 light-years. It is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
History/Origin
The term "parsec" is a portmanteau of "parallax" and "second," coined by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner in 1913.
Current Use
The parsec is the preferred unit of distance in astronomy and astrophysics for expressing the distances to stars and galaxies.
Frequently Asked Questions
