What is a fermi used to measure?

A fermi is a very small unit of length used to express distances on the scale of atomic nuclei and nucleons.

How many micrometers are in one fermi?

One fermi equals 1×10⁻⁹ micrometers.

Why convert fermi to micrometers?

Converting fermi to micrometers helps relate ultra-small nuclear distances to more commonly used microscale dimensions in other scientific disciplines.
