What is a furlong (US survey)?

A furlong (US survey) is a historical unit of length used mainly in U.S. land surveying, defined as exactly 660 US survey feet or about 201.1684 meters.

What does atomic unit of length mean?

The atomic unit of length, or Bohr radius, is the characteristic length scale in atomic physics representing electron–proton separation in hydrogen’s ground state.

Why convert furlongs to atomic units of length?

This conversion is useful for integrating historical land measurements with quantum physics and computational chemistry, where distances are expressed in atomic units.
