The Fathom remains vital in maritime navigation, measuring water depth and anchor chains. One fathom equals 6 feet. For reference, recreational scuba divers typically explore depths of 10-20 fathoms (60-120 feet), while the Titanic rests at about 1,200 fathoms (7,200 feet) below sea level. The Kilometer (km) is used for longer distances like city-to-city travel (e.g., 50 km), marathon races (42.195 km), or highway spans (e.g., 100 km). It's also used in aviation and sports like cycling.
To convert between Fathom (ftm) and Kilometer (km), use the following formulas:
1 Fathom (ftm) = 0.0018288 Kilometer (km)
1 Kilometer (km) = 546.8066491688539 Fathom (ftm)
1 ftm = 1 * 0.0018288 km = 0.0018288 km
5 ftm = 5 * 0.0018288 km = 0.009144 km
10 ftm = 10 * 0.0018288 km = 0.018288 km
20 ftm = 20 * 0.0018288 km = 0.036576 km
50 ftm = 50 * 0.0018288 km = 0.09144 km
100 ftm = 100 * 0.0018288 km = 0.18288 km
