Point


A point is a unit of length used mainly in typography to measure font size, line spacing, and other elements of printed text. It is defined as 1/72 of an inch, which is approximately 0.3528 millimeters.


Key facts:



  • 1 point = 1/72 inch ≈ 0.3528 mm



  • 12 points = 1 pica

  • Measures font sizes, leading (line spacing), and other typographic details



The point system helps designers and printers maintain precise and consistent text layouts across various media.



Kiloyard


A kiloyard is a less commonly used unit of length that equals 1,000 yards. Since one yard is exactly 0.9144 meters, a kiloyard is equivalent to 914.4 meters or 0.9144 kilometers.


While not widely used in everyday measurements or scientific contexts, the kiloyard may occasionally appear in specialized fields like military applications, ballistics, or older engineering texts where large distances were measured in yards. It follows the metric-style prefix "kilo-" (meaning one thousand) combined with the imperial unit "yard."


Conversion:



  • 1 kiloyard = 1,000 yards



  • 1 kiloyard = 914.4 meters



  • 1 kiloyard ≈ 0.568 miles



Due to the dominance of the metric system and the more common use of miles for longer imperial distances, the kiloyard remains a rare and non-standard unit in most modern contexts.
