What is a kilogram-force centimeter?

It is a non-SI unit of energy equal to the work done by a force of one kilogram-force acting through one centimeter.

What does the Rydberg constant represent?

The Rydberg constant is a fundamental physical constant used to describe atomic spectral lines and energy levels in hydrogen-like atoms.

Why are the converted values so large?

Because the kilogram-force centimeter is a mechanical energy unit and the Rydberg constant is an atomic-scale energy constant, the scale difference results in very large numerical values.
