Convert megaparsec to rod
Please provide values below to convert megaparsec [Mpc] to rod [rd], or Convert rod to megaparsec.
1 Mpc = 6.1355e+21 rd. To convert megaparsec to rod, multiply the value by 6.1355e+21; to go the other way, divide by it (1 rd = 1.6299e-22 Mpc). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Mpc = 6.1355e+21 rd
- 1 rd = 1.6299e-22 Mpc
- 10 Mpc = 6.1355e+22 rd

Megaparsec
A megaparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one million parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first coined by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner in 1913. The megaparsec came into use as astronomical distance measurements extended to other galaxies.
Current Use
The megaparsec is used to measure the distances between neighboring galaxies and galaxy clusters.
Rod
A rod, also known as a perch or pole, is a unit of length equal to 16.5 feet, or 5.5 yards.
History/Origin
The rod has been used as a unit of measurement in England since at least the 13th century. It was a convenient length for measuring land.
Current Use
The rod is now an archaic unit of measurement, though it may still be encountered in old land deeds.
