A fermi is a non-SI unit of length equal to 1 femtometre (1x10⁻¹⁵ metres), used mainly to express sizes of atomic nuclei and nucleons.

What is an astronomical unit?

An astronomical unit is exactly 149,597,870,700 metres and represents average Earth-Sun distance, commonly used to describe distances within the Solar System.

Why convert fermi to astronomical units?

Converting fermi to astronomical units helps relate microscopic nuclear lengths to macroscopic astronomical distances for scientific comparisons.
