Convert Chain to Angstrom
Type the number of chains that you wish to convert to angstroms.
How to Convert Chains to Angstroms
The chain and angstrom are both units of length. By definition, 1 chain equals exactly 201168000000 angstroms. This means to convert chains to angstroms, you multiply by 201168000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 ch to angstroms:
We need to convert chains to angstroms
Since 1 ch = 201168000000 Å, multiply by 201168000000
5 × 201168000000 = 1.00584e12
5 ch = 1.00584e12 Å

About These Units
Chain (ch)
A chain (ch) is a surveying unit equal to 66 feet, 22 yards, or 20.1168 meters. Invented by Edmund Gunter in 1620, chains are still used in land surveying and property descriptions. Ten chains equal one furlong, 80 chains equal one mile.
Angstrom (Å)
An angstrom (Å) is a unit equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters or 0.1 nanometers. Angstroms measure atomic and molecular dimensions, crystal structures, and electromagnetic wavelengths. A hydrogen atom is about 1.2 Å in diameter. Named after physicist Anders Jonas Ångström.
