How to convert chains to megaparsecs
1 chain is equal to 6.519410881 × 10⁻²² megaparsecs, and 1 megaparsec is equal to 1.533880926 × 10²¹ chains. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
megaparsecs = chains × 6.519410881 × 10⁻²²
megaparsecs = chains ÷ 1.533880926 × 10²¹Example: convert 1 ch to Mpc: 1 × 6.519410881 × 10⁻²² = 6.519410881 × 10⁻²² Mpc.
