What is a mile (US survey)?

A mile (US survey) is a length unit exactly equal to 5,280 US survey feet, used mainly in land surveying in the United States to maintain consistency with historical data.

What does one megaparsec represent?

One megaparsec is a length unit equal to one million parsecs and is commonly used to measure intergalactic and cosmological distances.

Why convert miles (US survey) to megaparsecs?

Conversions help relate local terrestrial survey distances to vast cosmic scales, useful in academic research and communicating astronomical data alongside surveying information.
