What Is a Yard and What Is a Femtometer?
The yard (yd) is an imperial and US customary unit of length equal to 3 feet or 36 inches. Standardized by the 1959 International Yard Agreement, 1 yard is legally defined as exactly 0.9144 meters.
The femtometer (fm) (also historically termed the Fermi) is an official SI unit of length equal to 10-15 meters (one quadrillionth of a meter or one thousandth of a picometer).
Because 1 yard equals 0.9144 meters and 1 meter equals 1015 femtometers, the conversion is exact: 1 yard = 0.9144 × 1015 = 9.144 × 1014 femtometers (914.4 trillion fm).
