Kiloparsec
A kiloparsec (kpc) is a unit of distance used in astronomy equal to 1,000 parsecs, or about 3,260 light-years. It is commonly used to measure distances within and between galaxies. For example, the Milky Way galaxy is about 30 kiloparsecs in diameter. Kiloparsecs help astronomers describe large-scale structures in space more conveniently than using light-years alone. The symbol for kiloparsec is "kpc". It’s an important unit for understanding the size and scale of galaxies and their components.
Famn
A famn (also spelled fathom in English) is a traditional Scandinavian unit of length used primarily for measuring the depth of water or length of ropes and cables. It is roughly equivalent to 6 Swedish feet, which translates to about 1.828 meters (approximately 6 feet).
The famn is similar in concept to the English fathom, based on the span of outstretched arms.
While largely obsolete today, the famn was commonly used in maritime contexts in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark and remains part of historical measurements.
