What is a furlong (US survey)?

A furlong (US survey) is a historical unit of length used in U.S. land surveying, defined as 660 US survey feet or approximately 201.1684 meters.

What does a megaparsec measure?

A megaparsec is a cosmological unit of length equal to one million parsecs, used to express distances between galaxies and large-scale cosmic structures.

Why convert furlongs to megaparsecs?

Converting furlongs to megaparsecs helps relate small-scale historical land measurements to the vast distances used in astronomy and cosmology.
