What is the classical electron radius?

It is a derived length scale representing a characteristic scattering length used in physics, defined by a classical formula involving fundamental constants.

Why convert electron radius to nautical miles (UK)?

This helps relate subatomic length scales to traditional maritime length units, useful for historical maritime data comparison or specialized scientific analysis.

Is the UK nautical mile the same as the international nautical mile?

No, the UK nautical mile is slightly longer at exactly 1,853.184 meters, while the international nautical mile is exactly 1,852 meters.
