Planck Length

The Planck length is the smallest meaningful unit of length in physics, representing a fundamental scale at which classical ideas about gravity and space-time break down and quantum effects dominate.

• 
  

  It is defined as approximately 1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ meters.

  
  
• 
  

  The Planck length is derived from fundamental constants: the speed of light, Planck’s constant, and the gravitational constant.

  
  
• 
  

  It sets a theoretical limit below which the very concepts of space and distance may lose conventional meaning.

  
  
• 
  

  Used mainly in theories of quantum gravity and string theory.

  
  

Key facts:

• 
  

  1 Planck length ≈ 1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ m

  
  
• 
  

  Smallest scale in quantum physics and cosmology

  
  
• 
  

  Represents a scale where quantum effects of gravity become significant

  
  

The Planck length is crucial for understanding the fabric of the universe at its most fundamental level.

Link (US Survey)

The US survey link is a unit of length used in the United States for land surveying, defined as exactly 7.92 US survey inches. Since one US survey inch is slightly longer than the international inch (due to the US survey foot), the US survey link is approximately 0.201168 meters.

It is part of the US survey system, derived from Gunter’s chain, which is divided into 100 links per chain (66 US survey feet). Links are used to measure small distances in surveying and land measurement.

Key facts:

• 
  

  1 US survey link = 7.92 US survey inches

  
  
• 
  

  1 US survey link ≈ 0.201168 meters

  
  
• 
  

  100 links = 1 US survey chain (66 US survey feet)

  
  
• 
  

  25 links = 1 US survey rod (16.5 US survey feet)

  
  

Though the US survey units are being phased out, the US survey link still appears in historical land records and legal surveying documents.
