An ell (from Proto-Germanic *alinō, cognate with Latin ulna) is a unit of measurement, originally a cubit, i.e., approximating the length of a man's arm from the elbow ("elbow" means the bend or bow of the ell or arm) to the tip of the middle finger, or about 18 inches (457 mm); in later usage, any of several longer units.
Terameter or teramatre is equal to 1E+12 (1012) meters (unit of length), comes from a combination of the metric prefix tera (T) and the SI unit of length meter (m). Plural name is terameters.
