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. Nanometers (nm) are critical in nanotechnology, biology (DNA helix = 2 nm wide), and computing (transistors are 3–5 nm). A human hair is ~80,000 nm thick.
To convert between Fathom (ftm) and Nanometer (nm), use the following formulas:
1 Fathom (ftm) = 1828799999.9999998 Nanometer (nm)
1 Nanometer (nm) = 5.46806649168854e-10 Fathom (ftm)
1 ftm = 1 * 1828799999.9999998 nm = 1828799999.9999998 nm
5 ftm = 5 * 1828799999.9999998 nm = 9143999999.999998 nm
10 ftm = 10 * 1828799999.9999998 nm = 18287999999.999996 nm
20 ftm = 20 * 1828799999.9999998 nm = 36575999999.99999 nm
50 ftm = 50 * 1828799999.9999998 nm = 91439999999.99998 nm
100 ftm = 100 * 1828799999.9999998 nm = 182879999999.99997 nm
