What is a link (US survey)?

A link (US survey) is a historical length unit equal to 1/100 of Gunter's chain, specifically 0.66 US survey feet or about 0.201168 meters, used mainly in land surveying.

What is a fermi unit?

A fermi is a non-SI length unit equal to one femtometre (1×10⁻¹⁵ meters), commonly used to express distances on the scale of atomic nuclei.

Why convert link (US survey) to fermi?

This conversion lets users translate historic land survey lengths into atomic-scale units, useful for scientific comparisons and nuclear physics contexts.
