What is a foot (US survey)?

It is a unit of length historically used in U.S. land surveying, defined exactly as 1200/3937 meters.

What does one fermi measure?

One fermi is equal to one femtometre (1×10⁻¹⁵ meters), used to describe atomic nuclei dimensions.

Is this conversion useful for everyday measurements?

No, due to the enormous scale difference, this conversion is generally only relevant for theoretical or academic contexts.
