What is the aln unit?

The aln is a historical Scandinavian length unit used mainly for measuring cloth and distances, with lengths varying by region and era.

Why convert aln to Earth's equatorial radius?

Converting aln to Earth's equatorial radius helps relate historical measurements to modern Earth geodetic scales used in mapping and Earth sciences.

Is the conversion rate fixed?

The conversion rate in this tool is fixed based on a standard value for aln and Earth's equatorial radius, but historical aln lengths may vary.
