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.

Micrometer

A micrometer (µm), also called a micron, is an extremely small unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to one-millionth of a meter (0.000001 meters). Micrometers are used to measure tiny objects that are invisible to the naked eye, such as bacteria, cells, or the thickness of a human hair (which is about 50 to 70 micrometers thick). The symbol for micrometer is "µm". This unit is very important in science, engineering, and manufacturing where precise measurements are needed at microscopic scales. Because it is so small, the micrometer helps scientists study the details of very small structures.
