Gigameter (Gm) to Chain (ch) Conversion

Astronomical scale (Moon's orbit = ~0.38 Gm). Useful for space agency data but rarely searched by the public. The Chain (Gunter's chain) was fundamental in surveying the American frontier. Measuring 66 feet (4 rods), it's the length of a cricket pitch. Ten square chains make an acre. Modern surveyors still reference chains in legal descriptions, and the unit remains visible in rural road layouts across the US.
