Planck's constant is not the Planck length.


The Planck length ℓ P is defined as: ℓ P = ℏ G c 3 ≈ 1.616 255 ( 18 ) × 10 − 35 m , where is the speed of light, G is the gravitational constant, and ħ is the reduced Planck constant.

I know they’re not the same. But they obviously depend on each other, no?

Sure, but so does twice the Planck length. Also half the Planck length. Also 86.173491 times the Planck length. And so on.
