What is a nautical league (UK)?

It is a historical British maritime unit equal to three nautical miles, approximately 5,556 meters, once used for sea distances in navigation and charts.

What does a femtometer measure?

A femtometer is an extremely small unit of length, 10^-15 meters, commonly used to describe atomic nuclei sizes and subatomic distances in nuclear physics.

Why convert nautical leagues to femtometers?

This conversion mainly serves academic and educational purposes to compare historical sea distances with nuclear scale measurements, illustrating the vast difference in unit magnitudes.
