And then there is this...
The cubit, generally taken as equal to 18 inches (457 mm), was based on the length of the arm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger and was considered the equivalent of 6 palms or 2 spans. In some ancient cultures it was as long as 21 inches (531 mm).
I measured my arm and yes it is one cubit
.
So how many cubits between here and the Sun... Opps I should have realised asking here somebody will give an answer .. heck now I will have to go work it out.
