Yard
A yard is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement, equal to 3 feet or 36 inches.
History/Origin
The origin of the yard is uncertain, but it is believed to have been derived from the length of a man's belt or girdle. The yard was standardized as part of the English (and later British Imperial) system of units.
Current Use
The yard is commonly used for measuring land, in some sports like American football and golf, and for selling fabric.
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.
