(Last Updated On: 2024-10-18)

Discover the ease of converting astronomical distances from Megaparsecs (Mpc) to feet (ft) with our user-friendly tool, designed to bring accuracy to your calculations.

What are Megaparsec and Foot

Definition of Megaparsec

A Megaparsec, abbreviated as Mpc, is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure vast cosmic distances. One Megaparsec is equivalent to one million parsecs, or approximately 3.26 million light-years. This unit helps astronomers express the distances between galaxies and other large-scale structures in the universe in a more manageable numerical form.

Definition of Foot

A foot, also referred to by its plural form feet, is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is defined as 0.3048 meters exactly and used primarily in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The foot is subdivided into 12 inches and is a key component in various fields requiring measurements such as construction, aviation, and many everyday activities.

Conversion of Megaparsec to Foot

1 Mpc = 3.086e+18 ft
1 ft = 3.241e-19 Mpc

Example 1:
Convert 0.5 Mpc to ft:
0.5 Mpc = 0.5 × 3.086e+18 ft = 1.543e+18 ft

Example 2:
Convert 2 Mpc to ft:
2 Mpc = 2 × 3.086e+18 ft = 6.172e+18 ft
