What are Hectopascal and Inch

A hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to one hundred pascals. It is widely used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. One hectopascal corresponds to the pressure exerted by a 1-newton force acting on a 1-square meter area.

An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It is defined as 1/12 of a foot, or exactly 2.54 centimeters. The inch is a commonly used unit in many applications, including measuring dimensions of objects, distances on maps, and screen sizes for electronic devices.
