What is an angstrom used for?

An angstrom is used to express atomic- and molecular-scale distances like bond lengths, lattice spacings, and short electromagnetic wavelengths.

What does Earth's equatorial radius represent?

It is the straight-line distance from Earth's center to the equator along the equatorial plane, used in geodesy and aerospace.

Why are conversion results often in scientific notation?

Because angstroms are extremely small compared to Earth's equatorial radius, resulting values are very small and best expressed in scientific notation.
