What are Millibar and Millimeter

Definition of Millibar

A millibar, symbolized as 'mbar', is a unit of pressure in the metric system equivalent to one-thousandth of a bar. The standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 1013.25 millibars. It's widely used in meteorology and for industrial pressure measurements.

Definition of Millimeter

A millimeter, symbolized as 'mm', is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as one-thousandth of a meter, the SI base unit of length. Millimeters are commonly used to measure small distances or dimensions with high precision.
