What is a fathom (US survey)?

It is a non-SI length unit equal to 6 US survey feet, mainly used in nautical and hydrographic measurements.

What does an angstrom measure?

An angstrom is a unit equal to 10⁻¹⁰ metres, used to describe atomic and molecular scale distances.

Why convert fathoms to angstroms?

This conversion helps integrate large-scale maritime measurements with atomic-scale dimensions for interdisciplinary scientific work and legacy data reconciliation.
