What does one square mile represent?

One square mile is an area measure equal to the surface of a square with each side one international mile (1,609.344 meters) in length, commonly used in the imperial and U.S. customary systems.

What is a square nanometer used for?

A square nanometer measures an extremely small area at the nanoscale, typically used to describe surfaces of molecules, nanoparticles, or features in nanotechnology and microscopy.

Why is converting between square miles and square nanometers challenging?

Because the units differ enormously in scale, converting between them produces very large numbers that require computational tools to handle and interpret accurately.
