Convert chain to angstrom
Please provide values below to convert chain [ch] to angstrom [A], or Convert angstrom to chain.
1 ch = 201168000000 A. To convert chain to angstrom, multiply the value by 201168000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 A = 4.9710e-12 ch). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ch = 201168000000 A
- 1 A = 4.9710e-12 ch
- 10 ch = 2.0117e+12 A
- 100 ch = 2.0117e+13 A
How to Convert Chain to Angstrom
1 ch = 201168000000 A
Example: convert 15 ch to A:
15 ch = 15 × 201168000000 A = 3017520000000 A

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.
Angstrom
The angstrom is a unit of length equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters. It is not an SI unit.
History/Origin
In 1868, Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström created a chart of the spectrum of sunlight in which he expressed the wavelengths in multiples of one ten-millionth of a millimeter. The unit was named after him.
Current Use
The angstrom is used to express the sizes of atoms, molecules, and the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the fields of chemistry, spectroscopy, and crystallography.
