What is a link (US survey)?

A link (US survey) is a historical length unit used in land surveying equal to 1/100 of a Gunter’s chain, approximately 0.201168 meters.

An exameter is an SI unit of length equal to one quintillion meters (10^18 meters) used to express extremely large distances in astrophysics and cosmology.

Why convert link (US survey) to exameter?

This conversion helps bridge historic land measurements with astronomical scales to enable comparison or educational demonstrations of vastly different length magnitudes.

Key Features

Converts length units from link (US survey) to exameter with ease
Provides clear definitions for both units involved
Supports understanding of scale differences between historical land measures and cosmic distances
Browser-based and simple to use

Examples

10 link (US survey) equals 2.011684023368e-18 exameter
1000 link (US survey) equals 2.011684023368e-16 exameter

Common Use Cases

Interpreting historic land survey distances for cadastral or engineering projects
Converting legacy land measurement units for integration with astrophysical data
Demonstrating the contrast between very small and extraordinarily large length scales in academic settings

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion mainly for theoretical or educational purposes to illustrate scale differences
Understand that the link (US survey) is a historical unit not commonly used in modern science
Be mindful of the extremely small output values due to the vast difference in unit magnitudes

Limitations

This conversion produces very small numeric results, limiting practical real-world applications
The link (US survey) is a non-SI historical unit and seldom used in current scientific measurement
Not suitable for typical measurement tasks due to magnitudinal differences
