How to convert megaparsecs to petameters
1 megaparsec is equal to 30,856,775.81 petameters, and 1 petameter is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻⁸ megaparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
petameters = megaparsecs × 30,856,775.81
petameters = megaparsecs ÷ 3.240779289 × 10⁻⁸Example: convert 1 Mpc to Pm: 1 × 30,856,775.81 = 30,856,775.81 Pm.

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 petameter
A petameter is 10¹⁵ meters, roughly a tenth of a light-year.
Symbol: Pm · 1 Pm = 1 × 10¹⁵ m · Category: Metric (SI)
