What is the point unit used in this conversion?

The point is a typographic length unit commonly used to specify font sizes and page layout, defined as 1/72 inch in desktop publishing.

What does the classical electron radius represent?

It is a derived theoretical length that characterizes scattering lengths in particle physics, not the physical size of the electron.

Why is the conversion factor so large?

Because the point measures macroscopic typographic lengths, while the classical electron radius is an extremely small subatomic scale.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify which definition of point (PostScript or TeX) applies to your source measurements
Use the conversion mainly for conceptual or theoretical analysis rather than practical measurements
Refer to the classical electron radius value and its context when interpreting results

Limitations

The classical electron radius is a theoretical concept, not a true physical size
Large conversion factor reflects scale differences and may seem unintuitive
Rounding and differing point definitions can affect precision
