What is a chain in length measurement?

A chain is a traditional surveying unit of length equal to 66 feet or about 20.1168 metres, commonly used historically for land measurement.

Why use Planck length as a unit?

Planck length is the fundamental natural length scale in physics, especially relevant in quantum gravity and theoretical high-energy physics.

Can I use this conversion for everyday measurements?

No, the Planck length scale is extremely small and this conversion is mainly applicable in scientific and theoretical contexts.
