The Egyptian equivalent of the foot—a measure of four palms or 16 digits—was known as the djeser and has been reconstructed as about 30 cm (11.8 in). The Greek foot ( πούς , pous ) had a length of 1 / 600 of a stadion , [ 12 ] one stadion being about 181.2 m (594 ft); [ 13 ] therefore a foot was, at the time, about 302 mm (11.9 in).
1 cm – 0.39 inches; 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2; 1 cm – edge of a cube of volume 1 mL; 1 cm – length of a coffee bean; 1 cm – approximate width of average fingernail; 1.2 cm – length of a bee; 1.2 cm – diameter of a die; 1.5 cm – length of a very large mosquito; 1.6 cm – length of a Jaragua Sphaero, a very small reptile
1.1 Very well, you say it does not have five legs: I say it has nine! 1.2 A horse has, in fact, an infinite number of legs 1.3 The longer you count, the more legs a horse has
The foot (pl.: feet) is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates.It is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion.In many animals with feet, the foot is a separate [clarification needed] organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws and/or nails.
Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales.The microwave is in-between 1 meter to 1 millimeter.. A centimetre or centimeter (US/Philippine spelling), with SI symbol cm, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the SI prefix for a factor of 1 / 100 .

The proper time interval between two events on a world line is the change in proper time, which is independent of coordinates, and is a Lorentz scalar. [1] The interval is the quantity of interest, since proper time itself is fixed only up to an arbitrary additive constant, namely the setting of the clock at some event along the world line.
Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. [1] [2] [3] It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events (or the intervals between them), and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the ...
The shaku had been standardized as 30.3 cm (11.93 in) since 1891. [5] This means that there are about 3.3 shaku (10 ⁄ 33) to one meter. [6] [7]This definition was established by Meiji government law; until then, even though the unit was given the same name, its length varied depending on the era.
