What is a furlong (US survey)?

A furlong (US survey) is a historical length unit equivalent to 660 US survey feet, primarily used in older U.S. land surveying and legal descriptions.

What does the classical electron radius represent?

It is a derived length scale in physics representing a characteristic scattering length, not the actual size of an electron.

Why convert furlongs to electron radius?

To express large, traditional distances in terms of fundamental physical units useful in particle physics and electromagnetic research.
