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). Interplanetary distances (Jupiter is 588 Tm from the Sun). Mostly for astrophysics research.
To convert between Decameter (dam) and Terameter (Tm), use the following formulas:
1 Decameter (dam) = 1e-11 Terameter (Tm)
1 Terameter (Tm) = 100000000000 Decameter (dam)
1 dam = 1 * 1e-11 Tm = 1e-11 Tm
2 dam = 2 * 1e-11 Tm = 2e-11 Tm
5 dam = 5 * 1e-11 Tm = 4.9999999999999995e-11 Tm
10 dam = 10 * 1e-11 Tm = 9.999999999999999e-11 Tm
20 dam = 20 * 1e-11 Tm = 1.9999999999999998e-10 Tm
| Decameter (dam) | Terameter (Tm) |
|---|---|
| 1 dam | 1e-11 Tm |
| 5 dam | 4.9999999999999995e-11 Tm |
| 10 dam | 9.999999999999999e-11 Tm |
| 20 dam | 1.9999999999999998e-10 Tm |
| 50 dam | 4.999999999999999e-10 Tm |
| 100 dam | 9.999999999999999e-10 Tm |
