Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions 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. Unit Definition (yottameter) The yottametre (or yottameter), symbol: Ym, is a unit of distance. One yottametre is equal to 1x10+24 (1e+24) in scientific notation. Which is a very large distance. Note this is different from a yoctometre, which is 1e-24, a very small distance.
