What is a petameter used for?

A petameter measures very large distances such as those between nearby stars or interstellar structures on the order of 10^15 metres.

How is a fermi defined?

A fermi is a unit of length equal to 1 femtometre (1×10⁻¹⁵ metres) used mainly in nuclear and particle physics to express sizes on the atomic scale.

Why convert petameter to fermi?

Converting petameter to fermi helps compare and compute distances across astronomically large and subatomic scales, enabling interdisciplinary research.
