Please provide values below to convert megaparsec [Mpc] to Bohr radius [a.u.], or Convert Bohr radius to megaparsec.
How to Convert Megaparsec to Bohr Radius
1 Mpc = 5.83108553751687e+32 a.u.
Example: convert 15 Mpc to a.u.:
15 Mpc = 15 × 5.83108553751687e+32 a.u. = 8.74662830627531e+33 a.u.
Megaparsec to Bohr Radius Conversion Table
| megaparsec | Bohr radius |

Megaparsec
A megaparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one million parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first coined by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner in 1913. The megaparsec came into use as astronomical distance measurements extended to other galaxies.
Current Use
The megaparsec is used to measure the distances between neighboring galaxies and galaxy clusters.
Bohr Radius
The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913. It is the atomic unit of length.
Current Use
The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used to simplify calculations and equations.
