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.
Rod
A rod, also known as a perch or pole, is a unit of length equal to 16.5 feet, or 5.5 yards.
History/Origin
The rod has been used as a unit of measurement in England since at least the 13th century. It was a convenient length for measuring land.
Current Use
The rod is now an archaic unit of measurement, though it may still be encountered in old land deeds.
