What is a long cubit used for?

The long cubit is an ancient length unit mainly used for measuring dimensions in historical and archaeological contexts, especially in Near Eastern and Egyptian systems.

Why convert long cubits to petameters?

Converting to petameters helps relate ancient measurements to modern astronomical scales, facilitating scientific and astronomical comparisons.

Are petameters practical for everyday use?

No, petameters represent extremely large distances, making them impractical for routine measurement purposes.
