What are Hectopascal and Inch

Definition of Hectopascal

A hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to 100 pascals. It is widely used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure, indicating weather patterns. The hectopascal is recognized for its closeness in value to the millibar, another meteorological pressure unit, with 1 hPa equalling 1 millibar, simplifying weather-related calculations.

Definition of Inch

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 commonly used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It is a versatile unit, utilized in various contexts such as measuring height, length, and diameter of objects.
