Ell
The ell is an obsolete unit of length, originally used for measuring cloth. Its length varied in different countries, but it was generally around 45 inches.
History/Origin
The word "ell" is derived from the Latin "ulna," meaning "forearm," as the unit was originally based on the length of the forearm.
Current Use
The ell is no longer in use.
Parsec
A parsec is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System, approximately equal to 3.26 light-years. It is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
History/Origin
The term "parsec" is a portmanteau of "parallax" and "second," coined by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner in 1913.
Current Use
The parsec is the preferred unit of distance in astronomy and astrophysics for expressing the distances to stars and galaxies.
