What is a fermi used to measure?

A fermi is used to express lengths on the scale of atomic nuclei and nucleons, such as nuclear radii and nucleon separation distances.

How small is an attometer compared to a fermi?

An attometer is smaller than a fermi by a factor of 1000; 1 fermi equals 1000 attometers.

In which fields is the fermi to attometer conversion most relevant?

The conversion is primarily used in nuclear physics, particle physics, and high-energy physics where extremely small length scales are critical.
