A decimeter is a metric unit of length equal to one tenth of a meter, commonly used for moderate-sized measurements and volume relations.

What is the vara castellana?

The vara castellana is a historical Spanish unit of length used mainly in Castile and its former territories, standardized historically at about 0.8359 meters.

Can I rely on this conversion for precise measurements?

Because the vara castellana varied historically by region and time, conversions provide approximate values rather than exact measurements.
