Convert chain to Planck length
Please provide values below to convert chain [ch] to Planck length [l_P], or Convert Planck length to chain.
1 ch = 1.2447e+36 l_P. To convert chain to Planck length, multiply the value by 1.2447e+36; to go the other way, divide by it (1 l_P = 8.0344e-37 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 = 1.2447e+36 l_P
- 1 l_P = 8.0344e-37 ch
- 10 ch = 1.2447e+37 l_P
- 100 ch = 1.2447e+38 l_P
How to Convert Chain to Planck Length
1 ch = 1.24465508227353e+36 l_P
Example: convert 15 ch to l_P:
15 ch = 15 × 1.24465508227353e+36 l_P = 1.86698262341029e+37 l_P

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.
Planck Length
The Planck length is the smallest possible unit of length in the universe, approximately 1.6 x 10⁻³⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The Planck length is derived from fundamental physical constants and is named after the physicist Max Planck. It is a fundamental unit in the system of Planck units.
Current Use
The Planck length is a theoretical concept used in quantum gravity and cosmology to describe phenomena at the smallest scales of the universe.
