What is a rod used for historically?

A rod is a traditional English unit of length mainly used in surveying and land measurement in the British Isles and early United States.

What does an attometer measure?

An attometer is an SI unit representing extremely small lengths, often used in particle physics and high-energy physics to describe subnuclear distances.

Why convert rods to attometers?

Conversion helps translate historical land units into precise SI units for scientific analysis and comparing macroscopic distances with fundamental physics scales.
