Unit Definition (spat)
The spat is an informal unit of distance formerly used by astronomers. The spat is equal to the terameter (Tm, or 10E12 meters). This is equivalent to about 6.6846 astronomical units. The origin of this usage is not clear; "spat" may be an acronym for "space unit" or "space-time".

Unit Definition (line)
The line is a traditional unit of distance equal to 1/12 inch (about 2.1167 millimeters). For measuring the thickness of buttons, there is also a smaller line equal to 1/40 inch (0.635 millimeter). The line is called the ligne in French, the linea in Spanish, the linie in German, and the liniya in Russian.
