What is a nail (cloth) unit?

A nail (cloth) is a historical length unit equal to 1/16 of a yard or 2.25 inches, traditionally used in British tailoring to measure small fabric increments.

What does the Bohr radius represent?

The Bohr radius is the atomic unit of length representing the most probable distance between a hydrogen atom's nucleus and its electron in the ground state.

Why convert nail (cloth) to Bohr radius?

Converting nail (cloth) to Bohr radius helps relate historical fabric measurements to atomic scale distances useful in scientific disciplines such as quantum chemistry and physics.
