An aln is a historical Scandinavian unit of length formerly used for measuring cloth and distances, with its exact size varying by country and era.

Why convert aln to kilometers?

Converting aln to kilometers helps in interpreting old Scandinavian measurements using a modern, standardized length unit for better understanding and comparison.

Is this conversion exact for all types of aln?

No, the conversion is based on the Swedish aln length and may not be precise for other regional variants.
