    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of...

    This unit is similar in concept to the attoparsec, combining very large and small scales. When a barn (a very small unit of area used for measuring the cross sectional area of atomic nuclei ) is multiplied by a megaparsec (a very large unit of length used for measuring the distances between galaxies ), the result is a human-scaled unit of ...

  3. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(mass)

    An overview of ranges of mass. To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following lists describe various mass levels between 10 −67 kg and 10 52 kg. The least massive thing listed here is a graviton, and the most massive thing is the observable universe.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    One g is the force per unit mass due to gravity at the Earth's surface and is the standard gravity (symbol: g n), defined as 9.806 65 metres per second squared, [5] or equivalently 9.806 65 newtons of force per kilogram of mass.

    The relationship between the different temperature scales is linear but the scales have different zero points, so conversion is not simply multiplication by a factor. Pure water freezes at 32 °F = 0 °C and boils at 212 °F = 100 °C at 1 atm.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

    An SI derived unit is a named combination of base units such as hertz (cycles per second), newton (kg⋅m/s 2), and tesla (1 kg⋅s −2 ⋅A −1) and in the case of Celsius a shifted scale from Kelvin. Certain units have been officially accepted for use with the SI.

In four different English-language countries of recipe and measuring-utensil markets, approximate cup volumes range from 236.59 to 284.1 milliliters (mL). Adaptation of volumetric recipes can be made with density approximations:
