How to Convert Attometer to Bohr Radius
1 am = 1.88972612462577e-08 a.u.
Example: convert 15 am to a.u.:
15 am = 15 × 1.88972612462577e-08 a.u. = 2.83458918693866e-07 a.u.
Attometer to Bohr Radius Conversion Table
| attometer | Bohr radius |

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.
Bohr Radius
The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913. It is the atomic unit of length.
Current Use
The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used to simplify calculations and equations.
