All distance converters

• Fathoms to Feet ConverterType a depth or length in fathoms and the converter shows feet immediately. One fathom is 6 feet, and the guide below covers the rule, the history and worked examples.
• Fathoms to Meters ConverterType a length in fathoms and the converter returns meters, rounded to four decimal places. One fathom equals exactly 1.8288 meters, which is six international feet.
• Feet to Kilometers ConverterEnter a length in feet and the converter gives the same distance in kilometers, rounded to four decimal places. One foot is exactly 0.0003048 km, so a kilometer holds about 3,280.84 feet.
• Feet to Meters ConverterType a length in feet and the converter shows meters, rounded to four decimal places. One foot is exactly 0.3048 meters, and one meter is about 3.2808 feet.
• Feet to Miles ConverterEnter a length in feet and the converter returns statute miles, rounded to six decimal places. A mile is exactly 5,280 feet, so one foot is about 0.000189 miles.
• Feet to Yards ConverterEnter a length in feet and the converter returns yards, rounded to four decimal places. A yard is exactly 3 feet, so the conversion is a division by three.
• Imperial to Metric ConverterPick an imperial unit, type a length and choose a metric unit to see the answer immediately. All factors are the exact international definitions, with results shown to nine decimal places.
• Kilometers to Feet ConverterEnter a distance in kilometers and the converter returns feet, rounded to six decimal places. One kilometer is 3,280.839895 feet, because each foot is exactly 0.0003048 km.
• Kilometers to Meters ConverterEnter a distance in kilometers and the converter returns meters. One kilometer is exactly 1,000 meters, so the conversion moves the decimal point three places to the right.
• Kilometers to Miles ConverterEnter a distance in kilometers and get statute miles, rounded to six decimal places. One kilometer is 0.621371 miles, and one mile is exactly 1.609344 kilometers.
• Kilometers to Nautical Miles ConverterEnter a distance in kilometers and the converter returns nautical miles, rounded to six decimal places. One nautical mile is exactly 1.852 km, so one kilometer is about 0.539957 nautical miles.
• Leagues to Miles ConverterEnter a distance in leagues and the converter fills in the miles straight away, using the common land definition of three miles to the league. The guide explains the factor, why leagues differ between countries and eras, and lists ready-made answers.
• Meters to Feet ConverterEnter a length in meters and the equivalent in feet appears immediately, rounded to four decimal places. Below you will find the exact factor, a step-by-step example with feet and inches, and a table of common values.
• Meters to Kilometers ConverterType a distance in meters and the kilometer value is filled in as you go. The guide below covers the rule, a few worked examples, how the answer is rounded and a handy table.
• Meters to Miles ConverterEnter a length in meters and the converter shows the same distance in miles, rounded to six decimal places. Read on for the exact factor, worked examples with running distances and a ready-made table.
• Meters to Nautical Miles ConverterEnter a distance in meters and the converter gives the nautical miles, rounded to six decimals. The guide covers the exact definition, a worked example, the link to knots and a table of useful values.
• Meters to Yards ConverterEnter a length in meters and the number of yards is calculated at once, to four decimal places. The guide gives the exact factor, examples from athletics and swimming, and a table of common distances.
• Metric ConverterPick a unit on each side, type a length and the other side fills in. Thirteen metric and imperial length units are supported, and every pair can be converted in either direction.
• Metric to Imperial ConverterChoose a metric unit, enter a length and pick the imperial unit you want. The converter uses exact definitions and shows the answer to up to nine decimal places.
• Miles to Feet ConverterEnter a distance in miles and the number of feet is shown immediately. The guide gives the exact factor, how the mile is built from smaller units, worked examples and a table of common values.
• Miles to Kilometers ConverterType a distance in miles and the kilometer equivalent is calculated as you go. The guide explains the exact factor, an easy trick for estimating in your head, and a table of familiar distances and speeds.
• Miles to Leagues ConverterEnter a distance in miles and the converter shows how many leagues it is, assuming three miles to the league. The guide covers the rule, the repeating decimals you will meet and a table of common values.
• Miles to Meters ConverterEnter a distance in miles and the converter gives the length in meters, rounded to six decimals. The guide explains the exact factor, why 1,600 is not good enough, and lists ready-made answers.
• Miles to Nautical Miles ConverterEnter a distance in statute miles and the converter returns nautical miles, rounded to six decimal places. One nautical mile equals 1.150779 land miles, so one land mile is about 0.868976 nautical miles.
• Miles to Yards ConverterType a distance in miles and the converter shows the same distance in yards, rounded to four decimal places. One mile is exactly 1,760 yards.
• Nautical Miles to Kilometers ConverterEnter a distance in nautical miles and the converter returns kilometers, rounded to six decimals. One nautical mile is exactly 1.852 kilometers.
• Nautical Miles to Land Miles ConverterEnter a distance in nautical miles and get the equivalent in statute miles, the ordinary miles used on roads. One nautical mile equals 1.150779448 land miles.
• Nautical Miles to Meters ConverterType a distance in nautical miles to see it in meters, rounded to six decimal places. One nautical mile is exactly 1,852 meters.
• Yards to Feet ConverterEnter a length in yards and the converter shows it in feet, rounded to four decimal places. Every yard is exactly 3 feet.
• Yards to Meters ConverterEnter a length in yards to get meters, rounded to four decimal places. One yard is defined as exactly 0.9144 meters.
• Yards to Miles ConverterType a distance in yards and the converter returns miles, rounded to six decimal places. A mile is 1,760 yards, so you divide by 1,760.
