What is a link (US survey) unit?

A link is a historic unit of length equal to 1/100 of a Gunter's chain or 0.66 US survey feet, primarily used in US land surveying and cadastral records.

What does the Bohr radius represent?

The Bohr radius is the atomic unit of length that corresponds to the most probable distance between an electron and the nucleus in a hydrogen atom's ground state.

Why convert link units to Bohr radii?

This conversion helps relate historic land measurement units to atomic-scale lengths, which is useful in quantum chemistry, physics computations, and interdisciplinary research.

Tips & Best Practices

Double-check unit selections before converting to ensure accurate results
Use this conversion mainly for theoretical or specialized research combining macroscopic and atomic-scale lengths
Be mindful of the significant difference in scales when interpreting converted values
Understand that the link is a large, historic unit not suited for precise atomic measurement

Limitations

Link (US survey) is a historical and relatively large measurement unit
Bohr radius applies only to atomic-scale phenomena and is not practical for everyday length conversions
Due to the vast magnitude difference, this conversion is mostly theoretical or useful for specialized interdisciplinary applications
