Twip


A twip (short for twentieth of a point) is a very small unit of length used in digital typography and computer graphics. It equals 1/20 of a typographic point, or 1/1440 of an inch.


Key facts:



  • 1 twip = 1/20 point = 1/1440 inch ≈ 0.01764 millimeters



  • Used in software and digital layout to specify very fine measurements for text, spacing, and graphics



  • Helps achieve high precision in formatting and display, especially in word processors and graphic design programs



Twips allow for detailed control over layout and formatting beyond what whole points can provide, ensuring smooth and precise rendering on screens and printers.



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.
