A "pole" is a unit of length that is equivalent to 16.5 feet or 5.0292 meters. It is sometimes referred to as a "rod" or a "perch," and these terms are often used interchangeably. Poles, like rods and perches, were historically used in some English-speaking countries, primarily in the United Kingdom and the United States, for land measurement, surveying, and real estate.
While the use of poles, rods, and perches has become less common in modern times, you may still encounter these units of length in certain contexts, especially in older land descriptions or surveys. In everyday measurements and official standards, more commonly used units like meters or feet are preferred.
Nanometer (nm): The nanometer is equal to one one-billionth of a meter (0.000000001 meters). It is used to measure extremely small structures, such as molecules and nanoparticles.
