What is a rod (US survey)?

A rod (US survey) is a traditional length unit equal to 16.5 US survey feet or about 5.02921 metres, commonly used in land surveying and legal property measurements.

An exameter is an SI unit representing 10^18 metres, used to express extremely large distances such as those in astrophysics or cosmology.

Why convert from rod (US survey) to exameter?

This conversion helps translate historical surveying lengths into units suitable for astrophysical or cosmological scale representations, aiding interdisciplinary data analysis.
