What is the electron radius (classical)?

It is a derived length scale in physics representing a characteristic scattering length, approximately 2.818×10⁻¹⁵ meters, not a physical size.

Why convert between these two units?

To translate extremely small atomic-scale lengths into more familiar, traditional measurements used in textiles and crafts.

How to Convert from Electron radius (classical) to Span (cloth)?

Q: What does span (cloth) measure?

Span (cloth) is a traditional, non-SI unit based on the distance between the thumb and little finger of an outstretched hand, about 9 inches or 22.9 cm.

Learn how to convert lengths from the classical electron radius to a traditional textile measurement unit called span (cloth). This tool helps translate atomic-scale lengths into relatable, historical fabric units.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand that the electron radius is a microscopic scale, much smaller than the span (cloth)
Use the tool primarily for conceptual or approximate conversions rather than precise measurements
Remember the span (cloth) is an informal, historical unit and can vary slightly in definition

Limitations

The electron radius (classical) is extremely small compared to the span (cloth), resulting in tiny fractional values
Span (cloth) is a nonstandard unit with approximate values, limiting precision
Conversions are useful mainly for comparative or educational purposes rather than exact measurements
