What is the Electron radius (classical)?

It is a derived length scale in physics representing a characteristic scattering length related to the electron's classical electrostatic self-energy.

Why use handbreadth as a unit?

Handbreadth is a traditional human-based length used historically and informally to measure width, providing a relatable scale for otherwise extremely small lengths.

Can I rely on this conversion for precise measurements?

No, the conversion is mainly symbolic due to the handbreadth's varying size and the electron radius being a theoretical length, so it's best for conceptual or educational use.
