Why is fingerbreadth considered a non-standard unit?

Fingerbreadth represents the width of an adult finger and varies by person and usage, making it informal and not standardized.

What is a picometer used for?

Picometers measure extremely small distances such as atomic bond lengths and interatomic spacings in scientific fields.

Can this conversion be used for precise measurements?

No, because fingerbreadth is approximate and picometer measures much smaller distances, the conversion is more theoretical than precise.
