What is the cubit (UK) unit?

Cubit (UK) is a historical length unit based on the distance from elbow to middle finger tip, approximately 18 inches.

What is the X-unit [X]?

X-unit [X] is a historical unit used in X-ray crystallography to express wavelengths and interatomic distances at a sub-ångström scale.

Why convert cubit (UK) to X-unit [X]?

This conversion helps translate large historical lengths into extremely fine-scale scientific units useful in crystallography and related fields.
