Long Cubit


The long cubit is an ancient unit of length that is a variation of the standard cubit, measuring from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. The long cubit is longer than the common cubit, typically about 21 inches (approximately 53 centimeters).


It was used in ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia for construction, land measurement, and crafts, especially when more precision or a larger unit was needed.


Key points:



  • Long cubit ≈ 21 inches (53 cm)



  • Longer than the standard cubit (usually about 18 inches)



  • Used in ancient architecture and surveying



  • Provided a larger base unit for measurements in construction



The long cubit helped ancient builders and surveyors manage larger scales while still relying on the human body as a reference.


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.
