What are Inch and Millibar

An inch, symbolized as 'in', is a unit of length predominantly used in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. It represents 1/12 of a foot or 1/36 of a yard. Historically based on the width of a human thumb, the inch has been standardized to exactly 25.4 millimeters in the international yard and pound agreement of 1959.

A millibar, symbolized as 'mbar', is a unit of pressure in the metric system equal to one thousandth of a bar. The bar, a non-SI unit accepted for use with the SI, represents 100,000 pascals. Thus, a millibar equals 100 pascals. The term originates from the Greek word 'baros', meaning weight, and is commonly used in meteorology to describe atmospheric pressure.
