Used in planetary science (Earth's diameter = ~12.7 Mm). Also for long-distance fiber optics or satellite measurements. The Hand is the standard unit for measuring horse height worldwide. One hand equals exactly 4 inches. For example, an average riding horse stands about 15-16 hands (60-64 inches) tall at the shoulder. This measurement is taken from the ground to the horse's withers (shoulder ridge).
To convert between Megameter (Mm) and Hand (hh), use the following formulas:
1 Megameter (Mm) = 9842519.685039371 Hand (hh)
1 Hand (hh) = 1.016e-7 Megameter (Mm)
1 Mm = 1 * 9842519.685039371 hh = 9842519.685039371 hh
2.4 Mm = 2.4 * 9842519.685039371 hh = 23622047.24409449 hh
5 Mm = 5 * 9842519.685039371 hh = 49212598.425196856 hh
10 Mm = 10 * 9842519.685039371 hh = 98425196.85039371 hh
