What is a Ken in length measurement?

Ken is a traditional Japanese unit of length used in architecture, approximately equal to 1.818 meters, indicating structural spacing like bays between pillars.

Why convert Ken to Bohr radius units?

Converting Ken to Bohr radius units allows linking traditional large-scale measurements with atomic-scale units used in quantum chemistry and physics.

Can the Ken unit be used for precise scientific measurements?

No, Ken is culturally specific and approximate, so it is not intended for atomic-scale precision.
