A famn is a traditional maritime unit of length equal to one fathom, commonly used to measure depths and nautical distances.

Why convert famn to Earth's equatorial radius?

This conversion relates traditional maritime measurements to large-scale Earth reference units, useful in geodesy, cartography, and aerospace.

Are famn measurements standardized?

Famn is a traditional unit and may vary slightly, especially in historical data, so careful interpretation is recommended.
