Attometer


An attometer (am) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-quintillionth of a meter (1 am = 10โปยนโธ 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.




Russian Archin


The archin (also spelled arshin) is a traditional Russian unit of length that was widely used before the adoption of the metric system. It is approximately equal to 28 inches or 0.7112 meters.


The archin was commonly used in measuring cloth, land, and building dimensions in Russia and neighboring regions. It roughly corresponds to the length of a forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, similar to the cubit.


Though obsolete today, the archin remains an important part of Russian historical measurements and appears in older legal and trade documents.


Summary:



  • 1 archin โ‰ˆ 28 inches (0.7112 meters)



  • Used historically in Russia for textiles and land measurement



  • Based on the length of the forearm



  • Mostly of historical and cultural interest today
