Distance and Length Units Conversion
In general English usage, length (symbols: l, L) is one particular instance of distance: an object's length is its extent along its longest dimension. This is to be contrasted with height, denoting vertical extent, and width (or breadth), denoting a lateral extent along a dimension shorter than an object's length. In the physical sciences and engineering, the word "length" is typically used synonymously with "distance".

The chain is a unit of distance formerly used by surveyors. The traditional British surveyor's chain, also called Gunter's chain because it was introduced by the English mathematician Edmund Gunter (1581-1626) in 1620, is 4 rods long: that's equal to exactly 1/80 mile, 1/10 furlong, 22 yards, or 66 feet (20.1168 meters). The traditional length of a cricket pitch is 1 chain. Gunter's chain has the useful property that an acre is exactly 10 square chains. The chain was divided into 100 links. American surveyors sometimes used a longer chain of 100 feet, known as the engineer's chain or Ramsden's chain. (However, Gunter's chain is also used in the U.S.; in fact, it is an important unit in the Public Lands Survey System.) In Texas, the vara chain of 2 varas (55.556 ft) was used in surveying Spanish land grants. In the metric world, surveyors often use a chain of 20 meters (65.617 ft).

An ångström or aangstroem (the official transliteration), or angstrom (symbol Å) is a non-SI unit of length that is internationally recognised. It is sometimes used in expressing the sizes of atoms, lengths of chemical bonds and visible-light spectra. It is named after Anders Jonas Ångström.
