What is a span (cloth)?

A span (cloth) is a traditional, non-SI unit of length based on the distance between the thumb and little finger of an outstretched hand, commonly about 9 inches or 22.9 cm.

What does megaparsec measure?

A megaparsec (Mpc) measures very large astronomical distances, equal to one million parsecs, and is often used in cosmology.

Why convert from span (cloth) to megaparsec?

This conversion helps relate very small textile lengths to immense cosmic distances, useful in scientific comparisons and interdisciplinary studies.
