This calculator allows you to convert from Earth's equatorial radius to Chain and in a reverse direction. To convert from Earth's equatorial radius to Chain, enter the amount of Earth's equatorial radius into the first input and to convert from Chain to Earth's equatorial radius, enter the amount of Chain into the second input.
1 Earth's equatorial radius = 317056.39067844 Chain
To convert Earth's equatorial radius to Chain: Every 1 Earth's equatorial radius equals 317056.39067844 Chain. For example, 100 Earth's equatorial radius equal 100 * 317056.39067844 = 31705639.067844 Chain and so on..

The chain is a unit of length. It equals 66 feet. The chain was first introduced between 1579 and 1607.
Several countries have used chain for several centuries especially in England. Note that there are 80 chains in one mile.
The main use of the chain is in laying out US townships. Official governments must use US survey chain to do surveys according to the federal law passed in 1785.
