What does it do?

 

Converts length measuring units from angstrom, microns, and inches to feet, miles, kilometers and even light-seconds. You just need to write a value in the first column, then choose the units, and you’ll get the conversion result in the second column.

Features

 

The way this gadget works is pretty simple. The left column contains a value you have to type and a list of units, from where you have to choose what to get converted. Then, you just select a measuring unit from the second unit, and the result (written in yellow font) will appear instantaneously. Every action in the gadget determines a recalculation of the result, so you’ll get it live.

 

There are 18 units included in the gadget for now, you can see them below (if you want to suggest one, you can just contact me using the links in the menu above):

mile, kilometer, foot, ångström, cubit, meter, finger, hand, inch, league, light-second (distance travelled by light in one second), line, micron, nautical mile, palm, point, stick, yard.

 

Curiosity: Did you know that the nautical mile is bigger than the general mile unit with more than 200 meters? Did you know that a finger is almost as big as an inch?
