Fingerbreadth

A fingerbreadth is a traditional unit of length based on the width of a human finger, often used in historical and informal measurements. It typically measures about ¾ inch (approximately 19 millimeters), though it can vary depending on the person and context.

Fingerbreadths were commonly used in tailoring, medicine, and everyday life to estimate small lengths before standardized units became widespread.

Key points:

• 
  

  Approximately ¾ inch (19 mm)

  
  
• 
  

  Based on the width of a finger

Fingerbreadth remains a handy reference for rough estimates even today.

Exameter

An exameter (Em) is a very large unit of length in the metric system. It equals one quintillion meters (1 exameter = 10¹⁸ meters). Exameters are used mainly in astronomy and physics to describe enormous distances, such as those between galaxies or across the universe. Because this unit is so huge, it’s not used for everyday measurements. The exameter helps scientists talk about the vast scale of space in a simpler way.
