What are Centimeter and Torr

A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one hundredth of a meter. It represents the standard unit for measurement of small distances and heights. This unit is widely used in various fields such as construction, science, and everyday measurements due to its convenience and ease of use.

The Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. One Torr is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a one-millimeter column of mercury at zero degrees Celsius at sea level.

History of Centimeter and Torr
