Examples
1
Consider that a river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey). Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Astronomical Units.
Answer:
Given:
The length in fathoms (us survey) is:
Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from fathoms (us survey) to astronomical units is:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 8 in the above formula.
Length(Astronomical Units) = 8 / 81800946807.9755
Length(Astronomical Units) = 9.77984e-11
Final Answer:
Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 9.77984e-11 AU.
The length is 9.77984e-11 AU, in astronomical units.

Fathoms (US survey)
A fathom (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in maritime contexts in the United States to measure water depth. One US survey fathom is equivalent to exactly 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.
The US survey fathom is defined as 6 feet, consistent with historical maritime measurement practices and used for depth soundings and underwater measurements.
Fathoms (US survey) are utilized in navigation, fishing, and marine activities in the United States to describe water depth. The unit provides a practical measurement for underwater distances and ensures consistency in maritime practices.
Astronomical Units
An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure distances within our solar system. One astronomical unit is equivalent to approximately 149,597,870.7 kilometers or about 92,955,807.3 miles.
The astronomical unit is defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Astronomical units are used to express distances between celestial bodies within the solar system, such as the distances between planets and their orbits. They provide a convenient scale for describing and comparing distances in a way that is more manageable than using kilometers or miles.
