Unit Definition (attometer)
An Attometer (or attometre) is equal to one quintillionth of a meter, or sometimes denoted as 10e-18 meters. The origin of the prefix is atten, the word for 18 in Danish and Norwegian.

Unit Definition (digit)
The digit is a historic unit of distance equal to the width of a person's finger. Used in all the ancient civilizations of the Middle East and Mediterranean, the digit was equal to 0.75 inch or 19 millimeters with only the smallest variations. Typically, there were 4 digits in a palm, 16 in a foot, and 24 (sometimes 28) in a cubit. The word digit is from the Latin word for a finger or toe, digitus.
