What is the classical electron radius?

It is a derived length scale representing a characteristic scattering length related to electron electrostatic energy, not a literal physical size.

What does the hand unit represent?

The hand is a traditional length unit exactly equal to 4 inches, originally based on the breadth of a human hand.

Why convert from Electron radius (classical) to hand?

To conceptually relate extremely small atomic scale lengths to a familiar human measurement unit for illustrative understanding.
