How to convert astronomical units to megaparsecs
1 astronomical unit is equal to 4.848136811 × 10⁻¹² megaparsecs, and 1 megaparsec is equal to 206,264,806,200 astronomical units. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
megaparsecs = astronomical units × 4.848136811 × 10⁻¹²
megaparsecs = astronomical units ÷ 206,264,806,200Example: convert 1 au to Mpc: 1 × 4.848136811 × 10⁻¹² = 4.848136811 × 10⁻¹² Mpc.
