## Planck length: a natural scale of distance

**planckLength** is the length constructed from the gravitational constant, reduced Planck constant, and speed of light. It is extraordinarily small and marks a natural scale where quantum-gravity effects are expected to matter.

## Context

It is a theoretical unit, not a measured minimum length. It accompanies [planckTime](https://calcul.io/constants/planckTime/index.md) and [planckMass](https://calcul.io/constants/planckMass/index.md) in Planck-unit systems.

## Caveats

Do not interpret the constant as proof that space is physically discrete. Convert to SI metres carefully and retain scientific notation using [format](https://calcul.io/function/format/index.md); compare ordinary propagation scales with [speedOfLight](https://calcul.io/constants/speedOfLight/index.md).
