What is the Planck length used for?

It serves as a natural length scale in theoretical physics, especially quantum gravity and string theory, marking where classical space concepts may break down.

Where was the link [li] unit historically applied?

The link was used in English land surveying during the 18th and 19th centuries, especially with Gunter's chain for measuring property boundaries.

Can I use this conversion for everyday measurements?

No, because the Planck length is extremely small and the link is a historical unit, this conversion is mostly relevant for theoretical or historical studies.

Key Terminology

Planck length: A fundamental length scale in physics derived from constants, used in quantum gravity to represent where classical concepts of space may fail.
Link [li]: A traditional English unit of length used in surveying, equal to 1/100 of Gunter's chain, mainly in historical land measurement.
Gunter's chain: A measuring device used historically in land surveying; one chain equals 100 links.

Quick Knowledge Check

What field primarily uses the Planck length?
