What is an Atomic mass unit [u]?

It is a unit of mass defined as one twelfth of the mass of a neutral carbon‑12 atom, used to express atomic and molecular masses.

Why convert to Planck mass?

Converting to Planck mass links atomic scale masses to the fundamental mass scale relevant in quantum gravity and theoretical physics.

Is this conversion useful for everyday measurements?

No, the conversion results in very small values mainly useful for theoretical and research applications, not for routine measurements.
