Used in planetary science (Earth's diameter = ~12.7 Mm). Also for long-distance fiber optics or satellite measurements. The Decimeter (dm) is useful for medium-sized objects like the length of a notebook (2-3 dm), the height of a water bottle (2.5 dm), or the width of a laptop (3-4 dm). Often used in education and everyday measurements.
To convert between Megameter (Mm) and Decimeter (dm), use the following formulas:
1 Megameter (Mm) = 10000000 Decimeter (dm)
1 Decimeter (dm) = 1.0000000000000001e-7 Megameter (Mm)
1 Mm = 1 * 10000000 dm = 10000000 dm
2.4 Mm = 2.4 * 10000000 dm = 24000000 dm
5 Mm = 5 * 10000000 dm = 50000000 dm
10 Mm = 10 * 10000000 dm = 100000000 dm
| Megameter (Mm) | Decimeter (dm) |
|---|---|
| 1 Mm | 10000000 dm |
| 5 Mm | 50000000 dm |
| 10 Mm | 100000000 dm |
| 50 Mm | 500000000 dm |
| 100 Mm | 1000000000 dm |
