What is a furlong used for?

A furlong is traditionally used in horse racing distances, historical land measurements, and old surveying or legal property descriptions.

What does the unit fermi represent?

The fermi is a very small unit of length equal to one femtometre, used to express atomic nucleus sizes and nuclear-scale distances.

Why convert furlongs to fermis?

This conversion helps illustrate the vast difference between human-scale distances and atomic-scale lengths, useful mainly for educational or theoretical physics purposes.
