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.

Fathom

A fathom is a unit of length traditionally used to measure the depth of water. It equals 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.

Originating from the Old English word fæðm, meaning "to embrace" or "outstretched arms," the fathom was based on the average distance between a person's outstretched arms. It has been widely used by sailors and navigators to estimate sea depths and underwater distances.

Key facts:

1 fathom = 6 feet
1 fathom ≈ 1.8288 meters
1 fathom = 2 yards

Though modern sonar and electronic instruments now measure depth more precisely, the fathom remains a traditional unit in nautical contexts, especially in maritime charts and historical references.
