What is the vara conuquera?

The vara conuquera is a historical regional variant of the Spanish vara, used as a unit of length in parts of the Spanish-speaking world with variations depending on locality and time period.

How is the US survey fathom defined?

The US survey fathom is a non-SI unit equal to 6 US survey feet, used primarily in nautical and hydrographic contexts for measuring water depths and line lengths.

Why do conversions between these units vary?

Variations arise because the vara conuquera differed historically by region and period, and the US survey fathom is slightly different from the international fathom.
