What is an attometer used to measure?

An attometer is used to express extremely small distances relevant in subnuclear and high-energy physics, such as scales smaller than a femtometre and short-range interactions inside nucleons.

What does one parsec represent?

One parsec is an astronomical length unit representing the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond, widely used for measuring distances between stars and celestial objects.

Why convert attometers to parsecs?

Conversions help relate extremely small subatomic length scales to astronomical distances, useful in interdisciplinary research between particle physics and astrophysics.
