How to convert megaparsecs to gigameters
1 megaparsec is equal to 30,856,775,810,000 gigameters, and 1 gigameter is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁴ megaparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
gigameters = megaparsecs × 30,856,775,810,000
gigameters = megaparsecs ÷ 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹⁴Example: convert 1 Mpc to Gm: 1 × 30,856,775,810,000 = 30,856,775,810,000 Gm.

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).
Symbol: Mpc · 1 Mpc = 3.085677581 × 10²² m · Category: Astronomical
About the gigameter
A gigameter is one billion meters. The Moon orbits about 0.38 Gm from Earth, and the Sun's diameter is about 1.39 Gm.
