What is a micron used for?

A micron is a unit of length used to measure microscopic objects like particles, cells, and thin films in science and engineering.

Why convert microns to Planck lengths?

Converting microns to Planck lengths helps relate everyday microscopic lengths to the fundamental quantum scale important in theoretical physics.

Can I measure Planck lengths directly?

No, Planck lengths are a theoretical scale that cannot be measured with current technology.
