Megaparsec

A megaparsec (Mpc) is a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure vast stretches across the universe. One megaparsec equals one million parsecs, or about 3.26 million light-years (1 Mpc ≈ 3.086 × 10¹⁹ kilometers). This unit is commonly used when discussing the distances between galaxies, galaxy clusters, or large-scale structures of the universe. Because the universe is so massive, astronomers need units like megaparsecs to express distances that are too large for even light-years to handle efficiently. The megaparsec is essential in cosmology and is often used when describing the scale of the observable universe.

Chain

A chain is a unit of length traditionally used in land surveying. The most common version is the Gunter’s chain, which equals 66 feet or 22 yards, approximately 20.1168 meters.

The chain was introduced by English clergyman Edmund Gunter in the 17th century to simplify land measurement. One chain consists of 100 links, each 0.66 feet long. It became a standard unit in British and American land surveying and was instrumental in defining land areas, especially in the U.S. Public Land Survey System.

Key Conversions:

1 chain = 66 feet
1 chain = 22 yards
1 chain ≈ 20.1168 meters
10 chains = 1 furlong
80 chains = 1 mile

Though now largely replaced by metric units and modern surveying tools, the chain still appears in older land deeds, maps, and rural property descriptions.
