What is Yard

Yard: The yard is a unit of length used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is equal to three feet or 0.9144 meters. Yards are often used in construction and landscaping.

What is Femtometer (fm)

A femtometer (fm), also known as a fermi, is an extremely tiny unit of measurement used to express even smaller distances than a picometer. It is equal to one quadrillionth of a meter, which is 0.000000000000001 meters or 1 × 10^-15 meters. The prefix "femto" denotes a factor of 10^-15 in the International System of Units (SI).

Femtometers are typically used in the field of nuclear physics and particle physics to describe the sizes and distances involved in atomic nuclei and subatomic particles. The nucleus of an atom, for example, is on the order of a few femtometers in diameter. In high-energy physics experiments and discussions about fundamental particles like protons, neutrons, and quarks, femtometers are a relevant unit of measurement due to the incredibly small scales involved.
