Parsecs

A parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used in astronomy. One parsec is approximately 3.26 light-years or 3.086 × 10¹³ kilometers.

The term parsec comes from "parallax of one arcsecond." It is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.

Parsecs are commonly used to measure large distances between astronomical objects outside our solar system, such as between stars or galaxies.

Handbreadth

A handbreadth is a historical unit of length used to measure small distances, typically based on the width of a hand. One handbreadth is approximately equivalent to 4 inches or about 0.1016 meters.

The handbreadth is defined as the width of a person's hand, measured from the edge of the thumb to the edge of the little finger when the hand is spread out. This unit was used for practical measurements in various contexts, including textiles and construction.

Handbreadths were used in historical measurement systems for assessing lengths and dimensions where precise tools were not available. Although less common today, the unit provides historical context for traditional measurement practices and everyday use in different cultures.
