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depth more precisely, the fathom remains a traditional unit in nautical contexts, especially in maritime charts and historical references.

Megaparsec

A megaparsec (Mpc) is a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure vast stretches across the universe. One megaparsec equals one million parsecs, or about 3.26 million light-years (1 Mpc ≈ 3.086 × 10¹⁹ kilometers). This unit is commonly used when discussing the distances between galaxies, galaxy clusters, or large-scale structures of the universe. Because the universe is so massive, astronomers need units like megaparsecs to express distances that are too large for even light-years to handle efficiently. The megaparsec is essential in cosmology and is often used when describing the scale of the observable universe.
