Fermi
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
Astronomical Unit
The astronomical unit is a unit of length, now defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters. It is approximately the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
History/Origin
Historically, the astronomical unit was the mean Earth-Sun distance. In 2012, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) redefined it as a fixed constant.
Current Use
The astronomical unit is used primarily for measuring distances within the Solar System or around other stars.
