Gigaparsec (Gpc) to Megaparsec (Mpc) converter

Converting from Gigaparsec (Gpc) to Megaparsec (Mpc) | Astronomy distance

What is Gigaparsec (Gpc)

In astronomy, a Gigaparsec (Gpc) is a unit of length equivalent to one billion parsecs. It is commonly used to express vast distances in the universe, especially on cosmological scales.

What is Megaparsec (Mpc)

A Megaparsec (Mpc) is a unit of distance in astronomy that equals one million parsecs. It is commonly used to measure distances within and between galaxies.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Gigaparsec (Gpc) and Megaparsec (Mpc) is straightforward:

  • To convert from Gpc to Mpc, multiply the Gpc value by 1000:

Mpc=Gpc×1000

  • To convert from Mpc to Gpc, divide the Mpc value by 1000:

Gpc=1000Mpc​

Examples

  1. Converting 15 Gpc to Mpc:

15(Gpc)=15×1000=15000(Mpc)

  1. Converting 9 Mpc to Gpc:

9(Mpc)=10009​=0.009(Gpc)

  1. Converting 10 Gpc to Mpc:

10(Gpc)=10×1000=10000(Mpc)

By understanding these conversion formulas, astronomers can easily switch between Gigaparsec (Gpc) and Megaparsec (Mpc) measurements in their research and observations.
