Picometer

A picometer (pm) is an extremely small unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-trillionth of a meter (1 pm = 10⁻¹² meters). Picometers are used to measure things on the atomic and subatomic scale, such as the size of atoms or the distance between particles in a molecule. For example, a hydrogen atom is about 50 picometers in radius. This unit is mainly used in physics, chemistry, and nanotechnology. Because it's so small, you won’t see picometers used in everyday life — they are only relevant in scientific research where ultra-precise measurements are required.

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depth more precisely, the fathom remains a traditional unit in nautical contexts, especially in maritime charts and historical references.
