What is the megameter used for?

Megameter is employed to express very large distances on planetary or terrestrial scales, such as the Earth’s radius or distances between major cities.

What does the Greek cubit represent?

The Greek cubit is an ancient length unit based on the forearm from elbow to fingertip, used historically in building and measuring artifacts.

Are conversions from megameter to Greek cubit exact?

No, due to variation in the Greek cubit's length over regions and time periods, conversions are approximate.
