What is a picometer used for?

A picometer is an SI unit of length used to measure extremely small distances such as atomic and molecular bond lengths.

What is a rod (US survey)?

A rod (US survey) is a traditional unit of length used in land surveying, equal to exactly 16.5 US survey feet.

Why would someone convert picometers to rods (US survey)?

This conversion helps relate very small atomic-scale measurements to much larger surveying units, especially when analyzing legacy property documents.
