Femtometer

A femtometer (fm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-quadrillionth of a meter (1 fm = 10⁻¹⁵ meters). It is also known as a fermi, named after the physicist Enrico Fermi. Femtometers are used to measure extremely small distances at the subatomic level, such as the size of protons, neutrons, and atomic nuclei. For example, the radius of a proton is about 0.84 femtometers. This unit is commonly used in nuclear physics and particle physics, but it's far too small for everyday measurements.

Nautical Mile (UK)

The nautical mile (UK) is a unit of distance used primarily in maritime and aviation navigation in the United Kingdom. Traditionally, it was defined as 6,080 feet (about 1,853 meters), which is slightly longer than the modern international nautical mile of 1,852 meters. This UK definition was used before international standardization in 1929. Today, the international nautical mile is widely adopted, but the UK nautical mile historically played an important role in navigation and mapping.
