Gigameter to Decameter Converter

Gigameter (Gm) to Decameter (dam) Conversion

Astronomical scale (Moon's orbit = ~0.38 Gm). Useful for space agency data but rarely searched by the public. The decameter (dam) is used to measure medium-scale distances like the length of a tennis court (~2.3 dam) or a cricket pitch (~2.0 dam). It’s also practical for land surveying and agricultural plots (e.g., a small field might be 10 dam × 20 dam).
