Editing Centimetre (section)

==Other uses==
In addition to its use in the measurement of [[length]], the centimetre is used:
* sometimes, to report the level of rainfall as measured by a [[rain gauge]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.weathershack.com/static/ed-rain-measurement.html|title=Rain Measurement|website=www.weathershack.com}}</ref>
* in the [[Centimetre gram second system of units|CGS system]], the centimetre is used to measure [[capacitance]], where 1&nbsp;cm of capacitance = {{val|1.113|e=-12}} [[farad]]s<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/Capacitance.html|title=Capacitance -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics|first=Eric W.|last=Weisstein|website=scienceworld.wolfram.com}}</ref>
* in  maps, centimetres are used to make conversions from map scale to real world scale (kilometres)
* to represent second moment of areas (cm<sup>4</sup>)
* as the inverse of the [[kayser (unit)|Kayser]], a CGS unit, and thus a non-SI metric unit of [[wavenumber]]:  1 kayser = 1 wave per centimetre; or, more generally, (wavenumber in kaysers) = 1/([[wavelength]] in centimetres). The SI unit of wavenumber is the inverse metre, m<sup>−1</sup>.
