What are Bar and Millimeter

Definition of Bar

A bar is a unit of pressure defined as 100,000 pascals. It is roughly equivalent to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. Although not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI) and is commonly used in meteorology and engineering to measure pressure.

Definition of Millimeter

A millimeter is a metric unit of length equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a meter. It is a widely used unit in engineering, manufacturing, and science for its convenience in measuring small dimensions. The millimeter is part of the International System of Units, which is the modern form of the metric system.
