Why use mile (US survey) instead of a standard mile?

Mile (US survey) is used to maintain consistency with historic surveying and mapping data, especially in the United States.

What is a picometer used for?

A picometer is an SI unit that measures distances on an atomic and sub-nanometer scale, important in fields like chemistry and materials science.

Is this conversion commonly used in everyday measurements?

No, due to the vast scale difference, this conversion is mostly relevant for theoretical or scientific comparison purposes.
