What is the classical electron radius?

It is a derived length scale representing the scale at which the classical electrostatic self-energy equals the electron rest energy, used mainly in physics calculations.

Why convert Electron radius (classical) to terameter?

To compare and relate very small atomic scale lengths with extremely large astronomical distances for research and educational purposes.

Is the electron radius a physical size?

No, it is a theoretical construct, not a literal dimension of the electron.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand that the classical electron radius is a theoretical measure, not a direct physical size.
Use this conversion primarily for conceptual or comparative analyses rather than practical measurement.
Double-check unit selections before converting to ensure accurate results.

Limitations
