What is the exact length of one foot in metres?

One foot is defined exactly as 0.3048 metres in the imperial and U.S. customary systems.

What is an angstrom used to measure?

An angstrom is used to describe atomic- and molecular-scale distances such as bond lengths, lattice spacings, and short electromagnetic wavelengths.

Why do foot to angstrom conversions result in very large numbers?

Because one foot equals 3,048,000,000 angstroms, reflecting the vast difference between everyday length scales and atomic dimensions.
