Handbreadth
A handbreadth is an ancient unit of length, based on the width of the hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb. It is typically about 3 inches.
History/Origin
The handbreadth has been used as a unit of measurement in many cultures throughout history.
Current Use
The handbreadth is an obsolete unit of measurement.
Astronomical Unit
The astronomical unit is a unit of length, now defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters. It is approximately the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
History/Origin
Historically, the astronomical unit was the mean Earth-Sun distance. In 2012, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) redefined it as a fixed constant.
Current Use
The astronomical unit is used primarily for measuring distances within the Solar System or around other stars.
