What exactly is a Planck length?

The Planck length is the natural length scale defined by fundamental constants and represents a scale at which classical ideas of space and distance break down.

Why convert Planck lengths to hectometers?

Converting helps compare extremely small quantum scales with everyday length units useful in mapping and civil engineering.

Is this conversion useful for practical measurement?

No, due to the immense difference in scale, it is mainly applied in theoretical physics contexts.
