General information
Length is the largest measurement of the body. In three-dimensional space, length is usually measured horizontally.
Distance is a quantity that determines how far two bodies are from each other.
Measuring distance and length
Units of distance and length
In the SI system, length is measured in meters. Derived units such as kilometer (1000 meters) and centimeter (1/100 meter) are also commonly used in the metric system. Countries that do not use the metric system, such as the US and UK, use units such as inches, feet and miles.
Distance in physics and biology
In biology and physics, lengths are often measured at much less than one millimeter. For this purpose, a special value has been adopted, the micrometer. One micrometer is equal to 1×10⁻⁶ meters. In biology, the size of microorganisms and cells is measured in micrometers, and in physics, the length of infrared electromagnetic radiation is measured. A micrometer is also called a micron and is sometimes, especially in English literature, denoted by the Greek letter µ. Other derivatives of the meter are also widely used: nanometers (1 × 10⁻⁹ meters), picometers (1 × 10⁻¹² meters), femtometers (1 × 10⁻¹⁵ meters and attometers (1 × 10⁻¹⁸ meters).
Navigation distance
Shipping uses nautical miles. One nautical mile is equal to 1852 meters. It was originally measured as an arc of one minute along the meridian, that is, 1/(60x180) of the meridian. This made latitude calculations easier, since 60 nautical miles equaled one degree of latitude. When distance is measured in nautical miles, speed is often measured in knots. One sea knot equals a speed of one nautical mile per hour.
Distance in astronomy
In astronomy, large distances are measured, so special quantities are adopted to facilitate calculations.
Astronomical unit(au, au) is equal to 149,597,870,700 meters. The value of one astronomical unit is a constant, that is, a constant value. It is generally accepted that the Earth is located at a distance of one astronomical unit from the Sun.
Light year equal to 10,000,000,000,000 or 10¹³ kilometers. This is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year. This quantity is used in popular science literature more often than in physics and astronomy.
Parsec approximately equal to 30,856,775,814,671,900 meters or approximately 3.09 × 10¹³ kilometers. One parsec is the distance from the Sun to another astronomical object, such as a planet, star, moon, or asteroid, with an angle of one arcsecond. One arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, or approximately 4.8481368 microrads in radians. Parsec can be calculated using parallax - the effect of a visible change in body position, depending on the observation point. When making measurements, lay a segment E1A2 (in the illustration) from the Earth (point E1) to a star or other astronomical object (point A2). Six months later, when the Sun is on the other side of the Earth, a new segment E2A1 is laid from the new position of the Earth (point E2) to the new position in space of the same astronomical object (point A1). In this case, the Sun will be at the intersection of these two segments, at point S. The length of each of the segments E1S and E2S is equal to one astronomical unit. If we plot a segment through point S, perpendicular to E1E2, it will pass through the intersection point of segments E1A2 and E2A1, I. The distance from the Sun to point I is segment SI, it is equal to one parsec, when the angle between segments A1I and A2I is two arcseconds.
In the picture:
- A1, A2: apparent star position
- E1, E2: Earth position
- S: Sun position
- I: point of intersection
- IS = 1 parsec
- ∠P or ∠XIA2: parallax angle
- ∠P = 1 arcsecond
Other units
League- an obsolete unit of length previously used in many countries. It is still used in some places, such as the Yucatan Peninsula and rural areas of Mexico. This is the distance a person travels in an hour. Sea League - three nautical miles, approximately 5.6 kilometers. Lieu is a unit approximately equal to a league. IN English both leagues and leagues are called the same, league. In literature, league is sometimes found in the title of books, such as “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” - the famous novel by Jules Verne.
Elbow- an ancient value equal to the distance from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow. This value was widespread in the ancient world, in the Middle Ages, and until modern times.
Yard used in the British Imperial system and is equal to three feet or 0.9144 meters. In some countries, such as Canada, where it is accepted metric system, yards are used to measure the fabric and length of swimming pools and sports fields and fields, such as golf and football courses.
Definition of meter
The definition of meter has changed several times. The meter was originally defined as 1/10,000,000 of the distance from North Pole to the equator. Later, the meter was equal to the length of the platinum-iridium standard. The meter was later equated to the wavelength of the orange line of the electromagnetic spectrum of the krypton ⁸⁶Kr atom in a vacuum, multiplied by 1,650,763.73. Today, a meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

General information
Typography is the study of the reproduction of text on a page and the use of size, typeface, color and other visual features to make text easier to read and look beautiful. Typography emerged in the mid-15th century with the advent of printing presses. The placement of text on a page affects our perception - the better it is placed, the more likely it is that the reader will understand and remember what is written in the text. Poor-quality typography, on the contrary, makes the text difficult to read.
Headsets are divided into different types, for example, fonts with and without serifs. Serifs - decorative element font, but in some cases they make the text easier to read, although sometimes the opposite happens. First letter ( blue color) in the image is in Bodoni serif font. One of the four serifs is outlined in red. The second letter (yellow) is in Futura sans serif font.
There are many classifications of fonts, for example, according to the time of their creation, or the style popular at a certain time. Yes, there are fonts old style- a group that includes the oldest fonts; newer fonts transitional style; modern fonts, created after the transitional fonts and before the 1820s; and finally new style fonts or modernized old fonts, that is, fonts made according to the old model at a later time. This classification is mainly used for serif fonts. There are other classifications based on appearance fonts, such as the thickness of the lines, the contrast between thin and thick lines, and the shape of the serifs. The domestic press has its own classifications. For example, the classification according to GOST groups fonts by the presence and absence of serifs, thickening in serifs, smooth transition from the main line to the serif, rounding of the serif, and so on. In classifications of Russian, as well as other Cyrillic fonts, there is often a category for Old Church Slavonic fonts.
The main task of typography is to adjust the size of letters and choose appropriate fonts to place text on the page so that it is easy to read and looks beautiful. There are a number of systems for determining font size. In some cases, the same size of letters in typographic units, if they are printed in different typefaces, does not mean the same size of the letters themselves in centimeters or inches. This situation is described in more detail below. Despite the inconvenience caused by this, used on at the moment font size helps designers arrange text neatly and beautifully on a page. This is especially important in layout.
In layout, you need to know not only the size of the text, but also the height and width of digital images in order to fit them on the page. Size can be expressed in centimeters or inches, but there is also a unit specifically designed to measure the size of images - pixels. A pixel is an element of an image in the form of a point (or square) of which it is composed.
Definition of units
The size of letters in typography is indicated by the word “size”. There are several systems for measuring point size, but most are based on the unit "soldering" in the American and English measurement systems (English pica), or “cicero” in the European measurement system. The name "soldering" is sometimes written as "spike". There are several types of soldering, which differ slightly in size, so when using soldering, it is worth remembering which soldering you mean. Initially, cicero was used in domestic printing, but now soldering is also common. Cicero and computer soldering are similar in size, but not equal. Sometimes cicero or soldering is directly used for measurement, for example to determine the size of margins or columns. More often, especially for text measurement, solder-derived units such as printing points are used. The soldering size is determined in different systems in different ways, as described below.
Letters are measured as shown in the illustration:
Other units
Although computer soldering is gradually replacing other units, and perhaps replacing the more familiar ciceros, other units are also used along with it. One of these units is American soldering It is equal to 0.166 inches or 2.9 millimeters. There is also printing soldering. It is equal to the American one.
Some domestic printing houses and in the literature about printing still use pica- a unit that was widely used in Europe (with the exception of England) before the advent of computer soldering. One cicero is equal to 1/6 of a French inch. The French inch is slightly different from the modern inch. IN modern units one cicero is equal to 4.512 millimeters or 0.177 inches. This value is almost equal to computer soldering. One cicero is 1.06 computer solders.
Round embed (em) and semi-circular embed (en)
The units described above determine the height of letters, but there are also units that indicate the width of letters and symbols. Round and semicircular spacing are just such units. The first is also known as em, or em, from the English word for the letter M. Its width has historically been equal to that of the English letter. Likewise, a semi-circular empat equal to half a round one is known as en. Now these quantities are not defined using the letter M, since this letter may have different size for different fonts, even if the size is the same.
In Russian, the en dash and em dash are used. To indicate ranges and intervals (for example, in the phrase: “take 3-4 tablespoons of sugar”), an en dash is used, also called an en dash. The em dash is used in Russian in all other cases (for example, in the phrase: “the summer was short, and the winter was long”). It is also called em dash.
Problems with modern unit systems
Many designers do not like the current system of typographical units based on rations or ciceros and typographical points. Main problem is that these units are not tied to the metric or imperial system of measures, and at the same time they have to be used in conjunction with centimeters or inches, in which the size of illustrations is measured.
In addition, letters made in two different typefaces can be very different in size, even if they are the same size at the typographic points. This is because letter height is measured as the height of the type pad, which is not directly related to the height of the character. This makes it difficult for designers, especially if they are working with multiple fonts in the same document. The illustration shows an example of this problem. The size of all three fonts in typographical points is the same, but the height of the sign is different everywhere. To solve this problem, some designers suggest measuring the point as the height of the character.
