What is a Roman actus?

The Roman actus is an ancient Roman length unit about 35.5 metres used historically in land measurement and surveying.

What is the X-unit [X] used for?

The X-unit [X] is a historical unit to express X-ray wavelengths and atomic spacings, primarily in crystallography and spectroscopy.

Why is the conversion factor so large?

Because the Roman actus measures land lengths while the X-unit [X] measures atomic-scale distances, resulting in a vast difference in scale.
