What does the femto prefix represent?

Femto, symbolized as f, denotes a factor of 10⁻¹⁵, indicating one quadrillionth of a base unit.

How is micro different from femto in unit conversion?

Micro, symbol µ, represents 10⁻⁶ or one millionth of a unit, which is a much larger scale compared to femto's 10⁻¹⁵.

Why would I convert femto units to micro units?

Converting femto to micro allows easier comparison and interpretation of very small measurements by scaling from quadrillionths to millionths in scientific and engineering contexts.
