The Fathom remains vital in maritime navigation, measuring water depth and anchor chains. One fathom equals 6 feet. For reference, recreational scuba divers typically explore depths of 10-20 fathoms (60-120 feet), while the Titanic rests at about 1,200 fathoms (7,200 feet) below sea level. Used in planetary science (Earth's diameter = ~12.7 Mm). Also for long-distance fiber optics or satellite measurements.
To convert between Fathom (ftm) and Megameter (Mm), use the following formulas:
1 Fathom (ftm) = 0.0000018288 Megameter (Mm)
1 Megameter (Mm) = 546806.6491688539 Fathom (ftm)
1 ftm = 1 * 0.0000018288 Mm = 0.0000018288 Mm
5 ftm = 5 * 0.0000018288 Mm = 0.000009144 Mm
10 ftm = 10 * 0.0000018288 Mm = 0.000018288 Mm
20 ftm = 20 * 0.0000018288 Mm = 0.000036576 Mm
50 ftm = 50 * 0.0000018288 Mm = 0.00009143999999999999 Mm
100 ftm = 100 * 0.0000018288 Mm = 0.00018287999999999998 Mm
