How to convert megaparsecs to rods
1 megaparsec is equal to 6.135523705 × 10²¹ rods, and 1 rod is equal to 1.62985272 × 10⁻²² megaparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
rods = megaparsecs × 6.135523705 × 10²¹
rods = megaparsecs ÷ 1.62985272 × 10⁻²²Example: convert 1 Mpc to rd: 1 × 6.135523705 × 10²¹ = 6.135523705 × 10²¹ rd.

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).

About the rod
The rod is 16.5 feet (5.0292 m), or a quarter of a chain. It was used in land surveying and is still used to measure canoe portages.
