Astronomical scale (Moon's orbit = ~0.38 Gm). Useful for space agency data but rarely searched by the public. The Rod (or pole/perch) was historically used in land surveying and agriculture. Measuring exactly 16.5 feet, rods were commonly used to define property boundaries. A standard American football field is 320 rods long (including end zones). This unit still appears in some property deeds and agricultural measurements.
To convert between Gigameter (Gm) and Rod (rd), use the following formulas:
1 Gigameter (Gm) = 198838781.51594687 Rod (rd)
1 Rod (rd) = 5.0292e-9 Gigameter (Gm)
0.15 Gm = 0.15 * 198838781.51594687 rd = 29825817.22739203 rd
1.5 Gm = 1.5 * 198838781.51594687 rd = 298258172.2739203 rd
4 Gm = 4 * 198838781.51594687 rd = 795355126.0637875 rd
