What is a millimeter?

A millimeter is an SI derived unit of length equal to one thousandth of a meter (10⁻³ m), commonly used for precise small-scale measurements.

What is a fermi used for?

A fermi is a non-SI unit equal to 1 femtometre (10⁻¹⁵ m) used in nuclear physics to express distances on the scale of atomic nuclei.

Why convert millimeters to fermi?

This conversion connects macroscopic dimensions with nuclear-scale lengths, which is helpful in nuclear physics and related scientific fields.
