What is a femtometer used to measure?

A femtometer measures very small lengths, commonly used for atomic nuclei sizes and particle physics distances.

Why convert femtometers to megameters?

Converting helps relate microscopic distances to large planetary scales for scientific and analytical purposes.

Is this conversion practical for everyday use?

No, because the converted values are extremely small and mainly useful in scientific contexts.
