What is the foot (US survey) unit?

The foot (US survey) is a unit of length used historically in U.S. land surveying, defined exactly as 1200/3937 meters.

Why convert feet to petameters?

Converting feet to petameters is useful for relating small-scale land measurements to extremely large astronomical distances in educational or theoretical contexts.

What is the petameter unit?

The petameter (Pm) is an SI length unit equal to 10^15 meters, commonly used for describing very large distances such as those in astronomy.
