The expansion of the universe is 73 kilometers per second per megaparsec plus or minus 1. There are 3.3 light years to a parsec. So a megaparsec would be 3,300 light years. At the scale of the solar system, the amount of displacement would be negligible.

As Mega is the prefix for a million, don’t you mean 3.3 Million light years per Megaparsec?

You're right! Kiloparsec would be 3,300.
