Megameter

A megameter (Mm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 1 million meters (1 Mm = 10⁶ meters or 1,000 kilometers). Megameters are used to measure very large distances, typically on a global or planetary scale. For example, the Earth’s diameter is about 12.7 megameters. Although it’s a valid metric unit, the megameter is rarely used in everyday life or science, as kilometers or other astronomical units are more common for such distances.

Fingerbreadth

A fingerbreadth is a traditional unit of length based on the width of a human finger, often used in historical and informal measurements. It typically measures about ¾ inch (approximately 19 millimeters), though it can vary depending on the person and context.

Fingerbreadths were commonly used in tailoring, medicine, and everyday life to estimate small lengths before standardized units became widespread.
