What is a rod (US survey)?

It is a traditional surveying unit equal to exactly 16.5 US survey feet, commonly used in historical land measurements.

What does the Bohr radius represent?

The Bohr radius is the atomic unit of length representing the most probable distance between the nucleus and electron in a hydrogen atom's ground state.

Why convert from rod (US survey) to Bohr radius?

This conversion helps relate macroscopic land measurements to atomic-scale units used in quantum chemistry and physics.
