Fathom

A fathom is a unit of length traditionally used to measure the depth of water. It equals 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.

Originating from the Old English word fæðm, meaning "to embrace" or "outstretched arms," the fathom was based on the average distance between a person's outstretched arms. It has been widely used by sailors and navigators to estimate sea depths and underwater distances.

Key facts:

1 fathom = 6 feet
1 fathom ≈ 1.8288 meters
1 fathom = 2 yards

Though modern sonar and electronic instruments now measure depth more precisely, the fathom remains a traditional unit in nautical contexts, especially in maritime charts and historical references.

Fermi

A fermi is a unit of length used in nuclear physics to measure extremely small distances, such as the size of atomic nuclei. It is equal to 1 femtometer (fm), which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.

The unit is named after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, known for his work in nuclear physics.

Key facts:

1 fermi = 1 femtometer = 10⁻¹⁵ meters
Used to measure nuclear dimensions and particle sizes
Essential in the study of nuclear and particle physics

The fermi is vital for describing distances at the subatomic scale, much smaller than atoms and molecules.
