What is a picometer used for?

A picometer measures extremely small lengths, often used in atomic and molecular scale scientific contexts.

Where is the furlong unit commonly applied?

Furlongs are traditionally used in horse racing distances, historical land measurements, and older surveying records.

Is it practical to use furlongs for atomic-scale length measurements?

No, furlongs result in very small numbers at this scale, making them unsuitable for precise atomic-scale measurements.
