1 Mpc = 1000 kpc
Full precision:1000 kpc
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 megaparsecs to kiloparsecs, we multiply by 1000 because one megaparsec equals exactly 1000 kiloparsecs.

1 megaparsec = 1000 kiloparsecs

Since each megaparsec contains 1000 kiloparsecs, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 1000 = 1000 kiloparsecs

So 1 megaparsecs = 1000 kiloparsecs.

✓Quick check: 1000 ÷ 1000 = 1 megaparsecs
↔ Kiloparsecs to Megaparsecs

How to Convert Megaparsecs to Kiloparsecs

To convert megaparsecs to kiloparsecs, multiply the value by 1000.

The Formula

Kiloparsecs = Megaparsecs × 1000

Key Fact

1 megaparsec = 1000 kiloparsecs

Tip: To convert kiloparsecs back to megaparsecs, divide by 1000.

Example Conversions

Example 1: 1 Mpc = 1000 kpc
1 × 1000 = 1000
Example 2: 5 Mpc = 5000 kpc
5 × 1000 = 5000
Example 3: 10 Mpc = 10000 kpc
10 × 1000 = 10000
