What is a fermi used for?

A fermi is used to measure nuclear-scale lengths such as nuclear radii and ranges in nuclear scattering experiments.

How does a micron compare to a fermi?

A micron is much larger than a fermi; 1 fermi equals 1e-9 microns, bridging atomic-scale distances to microscopic dimensions.

Why convert from fermi to micron?

Converting facilitates understanding and comparing nuclear-scale measurements with microscopic sizes common in biological and engineering fields.
