Kiloparsec
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
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.
