Units explained
Megameter
A megameter is a metric unit of length equal to one million meters (1×10⁶ m, or 1,000 km). It is occasionally used in geophysics and astronomy when expressing planetary-scale distances in SI units.
The megameter uses the SI prefix mega- (from Greek megas, great), adopted by the CGPM in 1960 to denote multiplication by one million.
Megameters appear in geophysics (Earth's mean radius is 6.371 Mm), planetary science, and large-scale civil engineering planning. The unit is less common than the kilometer for everyday geographic distances.
SI prefix mega- adopted in 1960; the megameter is the standard SI prefix unit for distances comparable to planetary radii.
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.
