Hand

A hand is a traditional unit of length primarily used to measure the height of horses. It is equal to 4 inches or 10.16 centimeters.

The origin of the hand as a measurement comes from using the width of a human hand, and it has been standardized at 4 inches for consistency in horse measurement. Horse height is expressed in "hands," measured from the ground to the highest point of the withers (the ridge between the shoulder blades).

Key points:

1 hand = 4 inches
1 hand = 10.16 centimeters
Used mainly for measuring horse height
Horse height is often given in hands and inches, e.g., 15.2 hands means 15 hands plus 2 inches

The hand remains the standard unit for horse height in many English-speaking countries.

Ångström

An ångström (symbol: Å) is a unit of length commonly used in physics, chemistry, and biology to measure very small distances, such as atomic and molecular scales. It is equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters, or 0.1 nanometers (nm).

The unit is named after the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström, who made significant contributions to spectroscopy.

Key facts:

1 ångström = 10⁻¹⁰ meters = 0.1 nanometers
Used to measure atomic and molecular sizes, wavelengths of light, and crystal lattice constants
Common in fields like crystallography, chemistry, and materials science

Though largely replaced by the nanometer in the SI system, the ångström remains widely used in scientific literature to describe very small lengths.
