Convert micron to megameter
Please provide values below to convert micron [µ] to megameter [Mm], or Convert megameter to micron.
1 µ = 1.0000e-12 Mm. To convert micron to megameter, multiply the value by 1.0000e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Mm = 1e+12 µ). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 µ = 1.0000e-12 Mm
- 1 Mm = 1e+12 µ
- 10 µ = 1.0000e-11 Mm
- 100 µ = 1.0000e-10 Mm
How to Convert Micron to Megameter
1 µ = 1e-12 Mm
Example: convert 15 µ to Mm:
15 µ = 15 × 1e-12 Mm = 1.5e-11 Mm

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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 micron in megameter?
1 micron (µ) = 1.0000e-12 megameter (Mm).
How do you convert micron to megameter?
Multiply the micron value by 1.0000e-12. For example, 25 µ × 1.0000e-12 = 2.5000e-11 Mm.
What is 10 micron in megameter?
10 µ = 1.0000e-11 Mm.
Which unit is larger, the micron or the megameter?
The megameter is the larger unit: 1 µ equals only 1.0000e-12 Mm.
