What is a hectometer?

A hectometer is an SI unit of length equal to 100 meters, commonly used for measuring larger distances such as in topographic mapping.

What does the classical electron radius represent?

It is a theoretical length scale representing a characteristic scattering length related to the electron's rest energy, not its physical size.

Why convert from hectometers to classical electron radii?

This conversion helps bridge macroscopic length scales with extremely small quantum scales in physics, useful in various scientific calculations.
