Fathoms to Feet Converter

A fathom is a unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems. The fathom is neither an International Standard nor an internationally accepted non-SI unit. It is the most frequently used maritime measure of depth in the English-speaking world. There are six feet in an imperial fathom. The span of a man's outstretched arms has varied depending on whether it was defined as a thousandth of an admiralty nautical mile or a multiple of the imperial yard. The term used to be used for any of several units of length greater than 5 feet.

The foot is an important part of the body. The terminal portion of a limb allows movement. The terminal part of the leg made up of one or more bones is known as the foot.
