What does one picometer represent?

One picometer (pm) is an SI unit of length equal to 10⁻¹² meters, used to measure atomic and sub-nanometre distances.

What is meant by Earth's equatorial radius?

Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the Earth's center to the equator measured along the equator, approximately 6,378,137 meters.

Why are the converted values so small?

The scale difference between picometers and Earth's equatorial radius is enormous, so converted values appear extremely small and are best handled with scientific notation.
