Convert chain to megameter
Please provide values below to convert chain [ch] to megameter [Mm], or Convert megameter to chain.
1 ch = 2.01168e-05 Mm. To convert chain to megameter, multiply the value by 2.01168e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Mm = 49709.695379 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 = 2.01168e-05 Mm
- 1 Mm = 49709.695379 ch
- 10 ch = 0.000201168 Mm
- 100 ch = 0.00201168 Mm
How to Convert Chain to Megameter
1 ch = 2.01168e-05 Mm
Example: convert 15 ch to Mm:
15 ch = 15 × 2.01168e-05 Mm = 0.000301752 Mm

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.
Megameter
A megameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^6 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "mega-" for 10^6 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1873.
Current Use
The megameter is sometimes used to specify the diameters of planets and the distances of satellites.
