What is a petameter used for?

A petameter is used to measure extremely large distances in astronomy, such as distances between nearby stars or sizes of large interstellar structures.

Why convert petameters to statute leagues?

This conversion helps translate modern astronomical distances into historical units found in older maps, legal descriptions, and literature.

Is the statute league still used today?

No, the statute league is now obsolete and mainly used only in historical or literary contexts.
