About Converting Points to Megameters
Point and Megameter both measure length. Specifically: A desktop publishing point is 1/72 inch, and megameter is 1000000 meter units.
Formula
megameters = points × 3.527778e-10
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 point equals 0.0003527777778 base units, and 1 megameter equals 1000000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct point-to-megameter factor of 3.527778e-10.
Simple example
1 pt × 3.527778e-10 = 3.527778e-10 Mm
1 point = 3.527778e-10 megameters.
Real-world example
10 pt × 3.527778e-10 = 3.527778e-9 Mm
10 points = 3.527778e-9 megameters.
