Inch (in)
Definition: An inch (in) is an imperial unit of length equal to 1/12 of a foot or 2.54 centimeters. It is commonly used for measuring small distances and screen sizes.
History: The inch was originally based on the width of a human thumb. It was later standardized in the 14th century by King Edward II of England as three barleycorns placed end to end.
Current Use: Inches are widely used in the US, UK, and Canada for measuring screen sizes, furniture dimensions, and industrial tools. It remains a popular unit in carpentry, printing, and manufacturing.
Exameter (Em)
Definition: An exameter (Em) is a unit of length equal to 10^18 meters. It is used primarily in theoretical physics and astronomy for describing vast cosmic distances.
History: As the metric system expanded, large-scale units like the exameter were introduced to accommodate astronomical and scientific measurements requiring extremely large distances.
Current Use: Exameters are rarely used in everyday applications but appear in astrophysics when discussing interstellar distances, black hole measurements, and the size of cosmic structures.
