Interplanetary distances (Jupiter is 588 Tm from the Sun). Mostly for astrophysics research. The decameter (dam) is used to measure medium-scale distances like the length of a tennis court (~2.3 dam) or a cricket pitch (~2.0 dam). It’s also practical for land surveying and agricultural plots (e.g., a small field might be 10 dam × 20 dam).
To convert between Terameter (Tm) and Decameter (dam), use the following formulas:
1 Terameter (Tm) = 100000000000 Decameter (dam)
1 Decameter (dam) = 1e-11 Terameter (Tm)
1 Tm = 1 * 100000000000 dam = 100000000000 dam
5.9 Tm = 5.9 * 100000000000 dam = 590000000000 dam
10 Tm = 10 * 100000000000 dam = 1000000000000 dam
| Terameter (Tm) | Decameter (dam) |
|---|---|
| 1 Tm | 100000000000 dam |
| 10 Tm | 1000000000000 dam |
| 100 Tm | 10000000000000 dam |
