What are Hectare and Barn

Definition of Hectare

A hectare is a unit of area measurement equivalent to 10,000 square meters. Used primarily in the measurement of land, one hectare is about the size of an average sports field and is recognized internationally as a standard unit for land area.

Definition of Barn

A barn is an extremely small unit of area used in nuclear physics, equal to 10^-28 square meters. It represents the cross-sectional area of atomic nuclei and is used to express the probability of interaction between particles, such as the likelihood of a nuclear reaction.
