What is a mile (US survey)?

It is a unit of length used in US surveying equal to exactly 5,280 US survey feet, designed to maintain consistency with historical land survey data.

What is an atomic unit of length?

The atomic unit of length is based on the Bohr radius and represents distances at the atomic scale for physics and chemistry calculations.

Why convert from miles to atomic units?

To connect traditional land survey measurements with atomic and quantum-scale data used in scientific research and modeling.
