What is an attometer?

An attometer (am) is an SI unit of length equal to one quintillionth of a metre (10^-18 metre), used for measuring extremely small distances in physics.

Why convert attometers to Earth's equatorial radius?

Converting attometers to Earth's equatorial radius helps relate very small microscopic distances to a familiar planetary scale, aiding understanding across scientific fields.

Is this conversion practical for everyday use?

Due to the huge scale difference, these conversions are mainly theoretical and used in specialized scientific contexts rather than daily measurements.
