Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (gnat's eye) The gnat's eye is an idiomatic "unit" of distance; it's common to hear that something is "as small as a gnat's eye". In fact, the eyes of typical gnats tend to have diameters similar in size to a hair's breadth: roughly 100-150 micrometers (0.10-0.15 millimeters). Unit Definition (braza [Texas]) The Braza is a traditional unit of distance in Spain and Latin America. In Spain it equals 2 varas, 8 palmos, or about 1.67 meters (5.48 feet or 65.75 inches). In Latin America the Braza tends to be larger. The Argentine Braza is 1.73 meters (5.68 feet or 68.16 inches), and under the Texas definition of the Vara the Braza would be 1.693 meters (5.556 feet or 66.67 inches). The Portuguese Braça is similar, but it equals 10 palmos or about 2.20 meters (7.22 feet or 86.6 inches).
