What is a Planck length used for?

Planck length is a natural length scale important in quantum gravity, string theory, and theoretical physics as a fundamental unit defining quantum gravitational effects.

When would I use megameters?

Megameters measure large terrestrial or planetary distances, commonly used for describing Earth-sized scales and large-scale engineering projects.

Why convert between Planck length and megameter?

Converting between these units helps relate extremely small theoretical length scales to vastly larger, practical distance units used in planetary science and engineering.
