Attometer
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
Kiloparsec
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
