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.

Cubit (Greek)

The Greek cubit is an ancient unit of length based on the forearm’s length—from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. In ancient Greece, it typically measured about 18 to 20 inches (approximately 45 to 50 centimeters), though the exact length could vary by region and period.

The Greek cubit was widely used in architecture, construction, and land measurement. It played a crucial role in building temples, monuments, and other structures in classical Greece.

Key points:

Greek cubit ≈ 18 to 20 inches (45–50 cm)
Based on the length of the forearm
Used in ancient Greek construction and land surveying
Important for classical architecture and engineering

This unit reflects how ancient civilizations used the human body as a natural measuring tool before standardized systems.
