The answer is ~200 picometers.
Wolfram lists some helpful comparisons:
1/2 the distance between base pairs in DNA
3x the atomic diameter of helium (the smallest atom)
Suffice to say you'd have a hard time seeing it as it would be 3,000x smaller than the wavelength of visible light.

- devoutsalsa 4y agoHydrogen isn’t smaller than helium? Or hydrogen isn’t an atom?
