Convert Electron radius (classical) to micron
Please provide values below to convert Electron radius (classical) [r_e] to micron [µ], or Convert micron to Electron radius (classical).
1 r_e = 2.8179403262e-09 µ. To convert Electron radius (classical) to micron, multiply the value by 2.8179403262e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µ = 354869118.662 r_e). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
Micron
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
