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). Used in planetary science (Earth's diameter = ~12.7 Mm). Also for long-distance fiber optics or satellite measurements.
To convert between Decameter (dam) and Megameter (Mm), use the following formulas:
1 Decameter (dam) = 0.00001 Megameter (Mm)
1 Megameter (Mm) = 100000 Decameter (dam)
1 dam = 1 * 0.00001 Mm = 0.00001 Mm
2 dam = 2 * 0.00001 Mm = 0.00002 Mm
5 dam = 5 * 0.00001 Mm = 0.00005 Mm
10 dam = 10 * 0.00001 Mm = 0.0001 Mm
20 dam = 20 * 0.00001 Mm = 0.0002 Mm
| Decameter (dam) | Megameter (Mm) |
|---|---|
| 1 dam | 0.00001 Mm |
| 5 dam | 0.00005 Mm |
| 10 dam | 0.0001 Mm |
| 20 dam | 0.0002 Mm |
| 50 dam | 0.0005 Mm |
| 100 dam | 0.001 Mm |
