What is a league and where was it used?

A league is a historical length unit formerly used for land and sea distances, with varying values depending on time and place, commonly around 3 statute or nautical miles.

What does the classical electron radius represent?

It is a classical derived length scale indicating the distance at which electrostatic self-energy equals the electron rest energy, used in electromagnetic scattering calculations.

Why convert leagues to classical electron radius units?

To relate large historical distance measures to fundamental atomic-scale physics lengths for scientific and educational contexts.

Key Features

Converts from league [lea], a non-SI historical length unit, to classical electron radius
Offers quick, browser-based unit conversions for scientific and educational use
Facilitates comparisons between large-scale distances and fundamental physical constants

Examples

2 League [lea] = 2 × 1713319099677900000 = 3426638199355800000 Electron radius (classical)
0.5 League [lea] = 0.5 × 1713319099677900000 = 856659549838950000 Electron radius (classical)

Common Use Cases

Relating historical nautical or land league measurements to atomic-scale physics lengths
Bridging macroscopic historical distance units with fundamental electromagnetic scattering scales
Supporting educational comparisons between classical units and quantum or atomic length scales

Tips & Best Practices

Verify which definition of league applies to your context (land or nautical) for accurate conversions
Use the conversion mainly for conceptual understanding or scientific reference rather than precise measurements
Understand that the classical electron radius is a theoretical length scale, not a physical size

Limitations

The league unit varies historically and geographically, affecting conversion accuracy
Classical electron radius is a derived theoretical value and not a literal electron size
Large scale difference between units means practical measurement use is limited
