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.

Vara Castellana

The vara castellana is a traditional Spanish unit of length that was widely used in Spain and its former colonies. It is roughly equivalent to 0.8359 meters (about 32.9 inches).

The vara castellana was commonly used in land measurement, construction, and textiles. Its length could vary slightly by region and time, but the standardized vara castellana became an important reference for legal and commercial measurements.

Key points:

• 
  

  1 vara castellana ≈ 0.8359 meters (32.9 inches)

  
  
• 
  

  Used extensively in Spain and Spanish America

  
  
• 
  

  Common in land surveying, building, and textile measurement

  
  
• 
  

  Predecessor to modern metric units in Spanish-speaking countries

  
  

Though largely replaced by the metric system, the vara castellana remains relevant in historical documents and land records.
