Megaparsecs unit in Length

A megaparsec (Mpc) is a unit of length used in astronomy, equal to one million parsecs, or approximately 3.26 million light-years. Megaparsecs are used to measure large-scale distances between galaxies and galaxy clusters in the universe. This unit is essential for understanding the structure and scale of the cosmos, allowing astronomers to map and study vast regions of space.

Parsecs unit in Length

A parsec (pc) is a unit of length used in astronomy, equal to approximately 3.26 light-years, or about 31 trillion kilometers. Parsecs are used to measure distances to stars and other celestial objects outside our solar system. This unit is derived from the method of parallax, where the apparent shift in position of a star relative to more distant stars is used to calculate its distance from Earth.
