For a transverse comoving separation Mpc in a flat universe, the corresponding distance is the transverse comoving distance , so
Equivalently the physical separation is Mpc and dividing it by Mpc gives the same angle. Dividing 100 comoving Mpc directly by would mix scale conventions. The density's Mpc is a characteristic inter-object spacing; a particular nearest neighbour has a distribution of distances and orientations.
