What is an electron cross section?

An electron cross section quantifies the probability of electron interactions with particles or atoms and has dimensions of area, expressed in units like square meters or barns.

Why convert electron cross sections to square miles?

Converting to square miles helps illustrate and compare extremely small microscopic areas with much larger, familiar land area units for educational and interdisciplinary research contexts.

Is this conversion useful for scientific calculations?

Due to the vast scale difference and resulting tiny values, square miles are not practical for precise scientific calculations of electron cross sections but useful for conceptual comparisons.
