Parsec: Definition and Use
A parsec is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System, approximately equal to 3.26 light-years. It is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
History/Origin
The term "parsec" is a portmanteau of "parallax" and "second," coined by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner in 1913.
Current Use
The parsec is the preferred unit of distance in astronomy and astrophysics for expressing the distances to stars and galaxies.
Arpent: Definition and Use
An arpent is a unit of length and a unit of area. As a unit of length, it is approximately 192 feet.
History/Origin
The arpent was a pre-metric French unit of measurement. It was used in France and its North American colonies, including parts of the United States.
Current Use
The arpent is an obsolete unit, but it may still be found in old land records in some parts of North America.
