What is a fathom?
A fathom is six feet, about 1.83 meters. It is roughly the span of a grown person's outstretched arms, which is how sailors measured rope by pulling it hand over hand.
Sea charts long gave water depth in fathoms, and the word still shows up in phrases about deep water and hard-to-grasp ideas.
In writing, the fathom is usually shortened to "fath". One fathom is 1.8288 meters, and that ratio is what every figure on this page is built from.
