What is the Planck length?

The Planck length is a fundamental length scale in physics defined by constants related to quantum gravity. It represents a scale where classical concepts of space and time may no longer apply.

What is a point in typography?

A point is a unit of length used in typography that specifies font sizes and page layout dimensions. The common PostScript point equals 1/72 of an inch.

Why convert between Planck length and point?

Converting between these units helps conceptually bridge extremely small theoretical physics scales to familiar measurements used in digital and print design.
