Please provide values below to convert hectometer [hm] to Electron radius (classical) [r_e], or Convert Electron radius (classical) to hectometer.
How to Convert Hectometer to Electron Radius (Classical)
1 hm = 3.54869118661751e+16 r_e
Example: convert 15 hm to r_e:
15 hm = 15 × 3.54869118661751e+16 r_e = 5.32303677992626e+17 r_e
Hectometer to Electron Radius (Classical) Conversion Table

Hectometer
A hectometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "hecto-" from the Greek "hekaton" meaning hundred, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The hectometer is not a widely used unit of length in English-speaking countries. It is sometimes used in surveying and for marking distances on highways in some countries.
Electron Radius (Classical)
The classical electron radius is a quantity with the dimension of length, approximately 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The classical electron radius is a concept from classical physics that attempts to model the electron as a spherical shell of charge. It is not considered the actual size of an electron.
Current Use
The classical electron radius appears in the Thomson scattering cross-section and is a useful length scale in atomic and high-energy physics.
