Rod to Gigameter Converter

1 Rod = 0 Gigameter

Rod (rd) to Gigameter (Gm) Conversion

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. Astronomical scale (Moon's orbit = ~0.38 Gm). Useful for space agency data but rarely searched by the public.
