Interplanetary distances (Jupiter is 588 Tm from the Sun). Mostly for astrophysics research. The Chain (Gunter's chain) was fundamental in surveying the American frontier. Measuring 66 feet (4 rods), it's the length of a cricket pitch. Ten square chains make an acre. Modern surveyors still reference chains in legal descriptions, and the unit remains visible in rural road layouts across the US.
To convert between Terameter (Tm) and Chain (ch), use the following formulas:
1 Terameter (Tm) = 49709695378.98672 Chain (ch)
1 Chain (ch) = 2.0116800000000002e-11 Terameter (Tm)
1 Tm = 1 * 49709695378.98672 ch = 49709695378.98672 ch
5.9 Tm = 5.9 * 49709695378.98672 ch = 293287202736.02167 ch
10 Tm = 10 * 49709695378.98672 ch = 497096953789.8672 ch
| Terameter (Tm) | Chain (ch) |
|---|---|
| 1 Tm | 49709695378.98672 ch |
| 10 Tm | 497096953789.8672 ch |
| 100 Tm | 4970969537898.672 ch |
