bohr

The unit of length in the atomic system of units. It is equal to the Bohr radius, which is approximately the radius of maximum electron density in the hydrogen atom, about 5.291 772 085 9 × 10⁻¹¹ meter, with a 1 standard deviation uncertainty of ± 0.000 003 6.¹ Symbol, a₀.²

The bohr = 4πε₀ħ²/m_ee², where m_e is the mass of the electron, e is the charge of the proton, and ε₀ is the electric constant, what used to be called the permittivity of the vacuum.
