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 micrometers
The micrometer (µm), one-millionth of a meter, became important as scientific instruments advanced, enabling the study of microscopic objects. Researchers in fields like biology, materials science, and engineering regularly rely on this unit to describe cells, fibers, and thin films. Its small scale is indispensable for tasks requiring detailed accuracy.
