Units explained
Exameter
An exameter is a metric unit of length equal to one quintillion meters (1×10¹⁸ m). It is among the largest defined SI prefix units of length and appears almost exclusively in astrophysical contexts.
The exameter uses the SI prefix exa- (from Greek hex, six, related to the exponent's powers-of-thousand grouping), adopted by the CGPM in 1975 to denote 10¹⁸.
Exameters could be used to express galactic-scale distances. One kiloparsec is approximately 30.9 Em. Astronomy generally uses parsecs, kiloparsecs, and megaparsecs instead.
SI prefix exa- adopted in 1975; the exameter has very limited practical use because galactic-scale astronomy has its own well-established unit system.
Yard
A yard is an Imperial and US customary unit of length equal to 3 feet or exactly 0.9144 meters. It is used for medium distances, particularly in athletics and fabric/textile measurement.
The yard's origin is contested but traditionally attributed to the length from the tip of King Henry I's nose to the end of his outstretched thumb. It was standardized in English law from the medieval period and definitively fixed at 0.9144 m exactly by the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
Yards are used in American football (10 yards for a first down), golf course distances, fabric and carpet sales in the US, and short-distance running events. The UK uses yards informally and on road signs for short distances.
Standardized in English law from the Middle Ages; fixed at 0.9144 m exactly by the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
