Gigameter
A gigameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^9 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "giga-" for 10^9 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The gigameter is used for measuring interplanetary distances, for example, the distance between Earth and Mars.
Chain
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
