What is a megaparsec used for?

A megaparsec is used to express distances between galaxies, galaxy clusters, and large-scale structures in cosmology.

Why convert megaparsecs to Planck length?

This conversion bridges extremely large cosmological distances with the fundamental quantum scale, aiding theoretical physics analyses.

Is this converter suitable for everyday measurements?

No, the converter is designed for theoretical and computational purposes due to the enormous difference in scale.
