Scruple (Apothecary)
A scruple (s.ap) is an old unit of weight used in apothecary measurements, equivalent to 1.3 grains or approximately 1.3 grams.
History/Origin
The scruple originated in ancient Greece and was adopted into Roman and medieval European apothecary systems. It was historically used for measuring small quantities of medicinal substances and drugs.
Current Use
Today, the scruple is largely obsolete and replaced by metric units, but it is still referenced in historical contexts and traditional apothecary practices.
Earth's Mass
Earth's mass (M_earth) is a unit of mass representing the mass of the Earth, approximately 5.972 × 10^24 kilograms.
History/Origin
The concept of Earth's mass as a unit originated from scientific measurements of Earth's size and gravitational influence, becoming a standard reference in geophysics and astronomy.
Current Use
M_earth is used in scientific contexts to express planetary and astronomical masses, and in some cases, to compare the mass of other celestial bodies relative to Earth.
