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.
Exameter
An exameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "exa-" for 10^18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1975.
Current Use
The exameter is used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between galaxies.
