What is the furlong unit used for?

Furlong is an imperial unit mainly used historically in horse racing, land measurement, and agricultural contexts.

Why does the Greek cubit's length vary?

The Greek cubit differed by period and region because it was based on human forearm length, which was not standardized.

Can this tool provide exact scientific conversions?

No, conversions are approximate due to historical variability in unit lengths and limited use of furlong in modern science.
