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). Astronomical scale (Moon's orbit = ~0.38 Gm). Useful for space agency data but rarely searched by the public.
To convert between Decameter (dam) and Gigameter (Gm), use the following formulas:
1 Decameter (dam) = 1e-8 Gigameter (Gm)
1 Gigameter (Gm) = 100000000 Decameter (dam)
1 dam = 1 * 1e-8 Gm = 1e-8 Gm
2 dam = 2 * 1e-8 Gm = 2e-8 Gm
5 dam = 5 * 1e-8 Gm = 5e-8 Gm
10 dam = 10 * 1e-8 Gm = 1e-7 Gm
20 dam = 20 * 1e-8 Gm = 2e-7 Gm
| Decameter (dam) | Gigameter (Gm) |
|---|---|
| 1 dam | 1e-8 Gm |
| 5 dam | 5e-8 Gm |
| 10 dam | 1e-7 Gm |
| 20 dam | 2e-7 Gm |
| 50 dam | 5e-7 Gm |
| 100 dam | 0.000001 Gm |
