What is a pole in length measurement?

A pole, also known as a rod or perch, is a traditional English length unit used in surveying, equal to 16.5 feet or 5.0292 meters.

What does a.u. of length represent?

The atomic unit of length corresponds to the Bohr radius, a standard measure in atomic physics representing atomic-scale distances.

Why convert poles to atomic units of length?

Converting poles to atomic units helps bridge historical land measurements with atomic-scale physics for theoretical and educational applications.
