What is a micron in length measurement?

A micron (micrometer) is a unit of length that equals one millionth of a meter, used for measuring microscopic dimensions like particles and cells.

What does famn measure?

Famn is a traditional maritime unit equal to one fathom, used historically to specify water depths and nautical distances.

Why are conversion values from microns to famn so small?

Because microns measure microscopic scales and famn represents large maritime lengths, converting between them yields very small decimal values.
