What is a megaparsec used to measure?

A megaparsec is used to express very large distances such as those between galaxies and large-scale cosmic structures.

What scale does the fermi unit represent?

The fermi is used to measure very small lengths, typically atomic nuclei sizes and nuclear distances.

Why convert megaparsecs to fermi?

This conversion helps compare enormous cosmological distances to extremely small nuclear length scales, useful mainly for theoretical or educational purposes.
