What is the Formula to convert Fathoms (US survey) to Lightyears?

The formula to convert given length from Fathoms (US survey) to Lightyears is:

Length_(Lightyears) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 5173179982561868

Substitute the given value of length in fathoms (us survey), i.e., Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in lightyears, i.e., Length_(Lightyears).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey).
Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Lightyears.

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 lightyears is:

Length_(Lightyears) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 5173179982561868

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} = 5 in the above formula.

Length_(Lightyears) = 5 / 5173179982561868

Length_(Lightyears) = 1e-15

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 fath is equal to 1e-15 ly.

The length is 1e-15 ly, in lightyears.

2

Consider that a dock extends into the sea for 8 fathoms (US survey).
Convert this length from fathoms (US survey) to Lightyears.

Answer:

Given:

The length in fathoms (us survey) is:

Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} = 8

Formula:

The formula to convert length from fathoms (us survey) to lightyears is:

Length_(Lightyears) = Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} / 5173179982561868

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Fathoms (US survey))} = 8 in the above formula.

Length_(Lightyears) = 8 / 5173179982561868

Length_(Lightyears) = 1.5e-15

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 1.5e-15 ly.

The length is 1.5e-15 ly, in lightyears.

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.

Lightyears

A light-year is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure vast distances. One light-year is equivalent to approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers or about 5.879 trillion miles.

A light-year is defined by the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, which is about 9.461 × 10^12 kilometers.

Light-years are used to measure distances between stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects. They provide a convenient way to express astronomical distances, making it easier to understand the scale of the universe.
