What is the link unit used for?

The link (li) is a historic English unit of length used mainly in 18th–19th century land surveying and cadastral records.

Why convert link to atomic units of length?

Converting link to atomic units helps bridge historical land measurement data with atomic-scale lengths for interdisciplinary research and modeling.

Is this conversion precise for scientific calculations?

While the defined conversion rate is fixed, variations in historic link measurements mean it is best used conceptually rather than for exact atomic-scale precision.
