Span (Cloth)
A span is an obsolete unit of length, typically about 9 inches, based on the distance between the tip of the thumb and the tip of the little finger when the hand is fully extended.
History/Origin
The span has been used as a unit of measurement for thousands of years in many different cultures.
Current Use
The span is no longer a standard unit of measurement.
Micrometer
A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967, and "micrometer" became the official term.
Current Use
The micrometer is a common unit for measuring the wavelength of infrared radiation, as well as the size of biological cells and bacteria. It is also widely used in technology and engineering.
