Convert attometer to fermi
Please provide values below to convert attometer [am] to fermi [F, f], or Convert fermi to attometer.
How to Convert Attometer to Fermi
1 am = 0.001 F, f
Example: convert 15 am to F, f:
15 am = 15 × 0.001 F, f = 0.015 F, f
Attometer to Fermi Conversion Table
| attometer | fermi |

Attometer
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
Fermi
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
