What is an angstrom used for?

An angstrom is a unit of length used to express atomic- and molecular-scale distances, commonly in crystallography, physics, and surface science.

Why convert angstroms to parsecs?

Converting angstroms to parsecs helps relate extremely small atomic distances to vast astronomical distances, useful in fields like molecular astrophysics.

Is using parsecs practical for measuring atomic distances?

No, due to the vast difference in scale, parsecs result in extremely small and often impractical values for atomic measurements.
