What is the Planck length?

The Planck length is a natural length scale defined by fundamental constants, indicating where quantum-gravitational effects emerge in theoretical physics.

What is a chain (US survey)?

A chain (US survey) is a traditional length unit equal to 66 US survey feet, historically used in U.S. land surveying and cadastral mapping.

Why convert Planck length to chain (US survey)?
