View source for Aarði measurement

The system of measurement used in [[Aarð]] is closer to *our* US/Imperial system than metric. It was based on early measurement using one's body, and was standardized by the [[Ðanmar Empire]].
==Linear Measure==
The basic unit of linear measure is the '''standard inch (si)''', equivalent to about 1.27 of *our* inches or 3.2258 cm.
*1 standard foot (sf) = 8 si
*1 hand (h) = 5 si
*1 walk (wk) = 144 sf
*1 standard league (sl) = 24 wk (3456 sf)
*1 great league (gl) = 6 sl (144 wk or 20736 sf)
These are related to metric and the US system as follows:
*1 sf = 25.8064 cm (10.16 in)
*1 h = 16.129 cm (6.35 in)
*1 wk = 37.161216 m (121.92 ft)
*1 sl = 891.869184 m (2926.04 ft or 0.554 mi)
*1 gl = 5.351215204 km (3.325 mi)
US equivalents are approximate; metric equivalents are closer to the actual values.
==Time Measure==
Aarði time measurement is based on subdivisions of the 23.37819831 hour Aarði day.
*1 tick = 4.058714984 seconds
*1 moment = 6 ticks (24.35228991 seconds)
*1 hour = 144 moments (58 minutes 26.7297465 seconds)
*1 watch = 4 hours (3 hours 53 minutes 8.61942 seconds)
*1 day = 6 watches (23 hours 22 minutes 41.5190768 seconds)
*1 moon = 20 days (19 days 11 hours 33 minutes 50.27815411 seconds) 
*1 year = 13 moons (253 days 6 hours 19 minutes 53.778 seconds)
==Measure of Weight==
The basic unit of weight is the '''grain (gr)'''.
*1 pebbleweight (pw) = 24 grains
*1 standard pound (sp) = 12 pebbleweights
*1 haul (hl) = 144 standard pounds
*1 ton (not abbreviated) = 144 hauls (20,736 sp)
*1 long ton (lt) = 72 tons (1,492,992 sp)
