Kiloyard


A kiloyard is a less commonly used unit of length that equals 1,000 yards. Since one yard is exactly 0.9144 meters, a kiloyard is equivalent to 914.4 meters or 0.9144 kilometers.


While not widely used in everyday measurements or scientific contexts, the kiloyard may occasionally appear in specialized fields like military applications, ballistics, or older engineering texts where large distances were measured in yards. It follows the metric-style prefix "kilo-" (meaning one thousand) combined with the imperial unit "yard."


Conversion:



  • 1 kiloyard = 1,000 yards



  • 1 kiloyard = 914.4 meters



  • 1 kiloyard ≈ 0.568 miles



Due to the dominance of the metric system and the more common use of miles for longer imperial distances, the kiloyard remains a rare and non-standard unit in most modern contexts.


Twip


A twip (short for twentieth of a point) is a very small unit of length used in digital typography and computer graphics. It equals 1/20 of a typographic point, or 1/1440 of an inch.


Key facts:



  • 1 twip = 1/20 point = 1/1440 inch ≈ 0.01764 millimeters



  • Used in software and digital layout to specify very fine measurements for text, spacing, and graphics



  • Helps achieve high precision in formatting and display, especially in word processors and graphic design programs



Twips allow for detailed control over layout and formatting beyond what whole points can provide, ensuring smooth and precise rendering on screens and printers.
