What are Bar and Centimeter

Definition of Bar

A bar is a unit of pressure defined as exactly equal to 100,000 Pascals. It is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is accepted for use with it. The bar is widely used in descriptions of pressure because it is about the same as atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.

Definition of Centimeter

A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one hundredth of a meter, which is the SI base unit of length. The centimeter is used worldwide for many everyday measurements and is a standard unit in the centimeter-gram-second systems of units.
