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.
Centiinch: Definition and Use
A centiinch is a unit of length equal to one-hundredth of an inch.
History/Origin
The centiinch is not a standard unit of measurement but is a logical subdivision of the inch.
Current Use
The centiinch is rarely used.
