Attometer

An attometer (am) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-quintillionth of a meter (1 am = 10⁻¹⁸ meters). This unit is extremely small, even smaller than a femtometer, and is used in theoretical physics to describe distances at the quantum level, such as within particles or in advanced models of spacetime. However, attometers are rarely used in practice because most known physical structures, including subatomic particles, are still larger than this. The attometer mainly appears in scientific equations or hypotheses dealing with concepts beyond current experimental capabilities.

Finger (Cloth)

A finger is a traditional, informal unit of length based on the width of a human finger. It was commonly used in tailoring and cloth measurement. The exact length varies but is generally considered to be about ¾ inch (approximately 1.9 centimeters).

The finger measurement helped tailors and fabric merchants make quick estimations of small lengths or widths of material before precise tools were common. It is one of several body-based units used historically in textiles, alongside the span, palm, and hand.

Though rarely used in modern measurement, the finger remains a part of historical measurement systems and illustrates how people relied on their bodies for everyday measuring tasks.
