Centimeter to Fathom Converter

Centimeter

A centimeter (symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system. A centimeter equal to one hundredth of a meter, centi being the SI prefix for a factor of 1/100. The centimeter was the base unit of length in the now deprecated centimeter–gram–second (CGS) system of units.

The centimeter is a commonly used measure of length and height. In many countries, height of a person is measured in centimeters.

The centimeter is roughly equal to the fingernail of an average adult person. Radius of vehicle wheels, waist size of trousers, length of shirts etc. are also often measured in cm values. More information

Fathom

A fathom is a unit of length in the imperial and the U.S. customary systems equal to 6 feet (1.8288 m). The unit of fathom is used especially for measuring the depth of water. The fathom is neither an International Standard (SI) unit, nor an internationally-accepted non-SI unit. Most modern nautical charts indicate depth in meters. However, the U.S. Hydrographic Office uses feet and fathoms. A nautical chart will always explicitly indicate the units of depth used.

An imperial fathom is equal to two yards (6 feet).
