Convert dekameter to attometer
Enter a value below to convert dekameter [dam] to attometer [am]. Reverse conversion: Convert attometer to dekameter.
1 dam = 1.0000e+19 am. To convert dekameter to attometer, multiply the value by 1.0000e+19; to go the other way, divide by it (1 am = 1.0000e-19 dam). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Dekameter to Attometer: Quick Reference
- 1 dam = 1.0000e+19 am
- 1 am = 1.0000e-19 dam
- 10 dam = 1.0000e+20 am
- 100 dam = 1.0000e+21 am
How to Convert Dekameter to Attometer
1 dam = 1e+19 am
Example: convert 15 dam to am:
15 dam = 15 × 1e+19 am = 1.5e+20 am

Dekameter: Definition and Use
A dekameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "deka-" from the Greek "deka" meaning ten, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The dekameter is rarely used in practice. It is sometimes used in meteorology to measure altitude.
Attometer: Definition and Use
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
