Unit History
About yards
The yard is an old English unit that was eventually standardized in England under various monarchs. Today, it remains part of the US customary and British imperial systems. Though not as widely used as the meter internationally, yards are still frequently referenced in certain sports (like American football) and in casual measurements within the US and UK.
About centimeters
The centimeter, exactly one-hundredth of a meter, traces its origins to the same revolutionary reforms that created the metric system. Commonly used in everyday tasks, it is especially helpful for measuring smaller objects, personal body dimensions, and household items. It plays a critical role in many fields, from tailoring and construction to basic scientific experiments.
