What is the classical electron radius?

It is a derived atomic length scale representing where the classical electrostatic self-energy equals the electron rest energy, not the actual physical size of the electron.

What is a furlong (US survey)?

A historical unit of length defined as 660 US survey feet, used in traditional U.S. land surveying and certain customary contexts.

Why convert between these vastly different units?

To enable interdisciplinary understanding by linking atomic-scale measurements with traditional survey units for scientific, educational, or historical analysis.

Provides a straightforward interface for unit conversions
Supports conversions that relate atomic-scale physics units to historical land measurement units

Examples

5 Electron radius (classical) equals 7.0039352285605e-17 furlong (US survey)
1×10^15 Electron radius (classical) is approximately 1.4007870457e-2 furlong (US survey)

Common Use Cases

Relating atomic and particle physics scattering lengths to traditional land measurements
Interpreting historical survey maps and land descriptions using converted units
Scientific education involving interdisciplinary unit analysis

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion primarily for academic, illustrative, or interdisciplinary contexts
Remember the Electron radius is a theoretical atomic scale and not practical for everyday length measurements
Be aware that the furlong is a non-SI unit with limited modern surveying uses

Limitations

Electron radius represents a subatomic scale unsuitable for practical length measurement in furlongs
Furlong (US survey) is a historical and non-SI unit, which may cause ambiguity in precise measurements
