Convert rod (US survey) to megaparsec
Please provide values below to convert rod (US survey) [rd (US)] to megaparsec [Mpc], or Convert megaparsec to rod (US survey).
1 rd (US) = 1.6299e-22 Mpc. To convert rod (US survey) to megaparsec, multiply the value by 1.6299e-22; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Mpc = 6.1355e+21 rd (US)). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 rd (US) = 1.6299e-22 Mpc
- 1 Mpc = 6.1355e+21 rd (US)
- 10 rd (US) = 1.6299e-21 Mpc
- 100 rd (US) = 1.6299e-20 Mpc
How to Convert Rod (Us Survey) to Megaparsec
1 rd (US) = 1.62985598006445e-22 Mpc
Example: convert 15 rd (US) to Mpc:
15 rd (US) = 15 × 1.62985598006445e-22 Mpc = 2.44478397009667e-21 Mpc

Rod (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey rod is a unit of length equal to 16.5 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey rod is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was slightly different from the international foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey rod was used for land surveying in the United States.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
