What is a furlong used for today?

Furlongs remain in specific traditional contexts like horse racing and historic land descriptions but are uncommon in scientific measurement.

Why convert furlongs to picometers?

This conversion helps relate large-scale traditional measurements to extremely small distances used in scientific research.

Is the furlong unit exact in all contexts?

No, historic furlong lengths may vary, which can reduce accuracy when converting to precise scientific units like picometers.
