How to convert megaparsecs to chains (US survey)
1 megaparsec is equal to 1.533877858 × 10²¹ chains (US survey), and 1 chain (us survey) is equal to 6.51942392 × 10⁻²² megaparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
chains (US survey) = megaparsecs × 1.533877858 × 10²¹
chains (US survey) = megaparsecs ÷ 6.51942392 × 10⁻²²Example: convert 1 Mpc to ch (US): 1 × 1.533877858 × 10²¹ = 1.533877858 × 10²¹ ch (US).

About the megaparsec
A megaparsec is one million parsecs (about 3.26 million light-years). It's used for distances between galaxies and in the Hubble constant (km/s/Mpc).
