Dekameters unit in Length

A dekameter (dam) is a unit of length equal to 10 meters. Dekameters are used in fields such as topography, meteorology, and hydrology to measure medium-scale distances, such as the height of a hill or the depth of a body of water. This unit offers a practical measure for situations where meters are too small, but larger units like kilometers are unnecessary.

Kiloparsecs unit in Length

A kiloparsec (kpc) is a unit of length equal to one thousand parsecs, or approximately 3,260 light-years. Kiloparsecs are commonly used in astronomy to measure distances within our galaxy, the Milky Way, as well as distances to nearby galaxies. This unit provides a practical way to express large interstellar distances while remaining within a comprehensible scale for astronomical studies.
