Millimeter

A millimeter (mm) is a very small unit of length in the metric system. It is commonly used to measure tiny objects or precise dimensions. One millimeter is equal to one-thousandth of a meter (1 mm = 0.001 m), and 10 millimeters make 1 centimeter. Millimeters are often used in fields like engineering, machining, and science where exact measurements are important. For example, the thickness of a credit card is about 1 mm. The symbol for millimeter is "mm", and you can find it on most rulers or measuring tools. Since it allows for high accuracy, the millimeter is ideal for measuring small parts, gaps, or details.

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depth more precisely, the fathom remains a traditional unit in nautical contexts, especially in maritime charts and historical references.
