Convert attometer to chain
Please provide values below to convert attometer [am] to chain [ch], or Convert chain to attometer.
1 am = 4.9710e-20 ch. To convert attometer to chain, multiply the value by 4.9710e-20; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ch = 2.0117e+19 am). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 am = 4.9710e-20 ch
- 1 ch = 2.0117e+19 am
- 10 am = 4.9710e-19 ch
- 100 am = 4.9710e-18 ch
How to Convert Attometer to Chain
1 am = 4.97096953789867e-20 ch
Example: convert 15 am to ch:
15 am = 15 × 4.97096953789867e-20 ch = 7.45645430684801e-19 ch

Attometer
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
Chain
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
