✨Handspan and cubit cannot be used as a standard unit of length . This is because these are not particular measurements . Like the handspan will vary from person to person and the true value would not be same . This is the biggest limitation . Thus, they do not provide accurate measurements .

✨The distance between Delhi and Patna cannot be measured in milimeters . This is because the distance between them is very large and milimeters are a very small unit of length . It can be measured in larger units of length like kilometers .

Answer 2

Handspan,Cubit and footstep cannot be used as a standard unit of length because their sizes vary from person to person. So, two different persons may give different measurements for the same length, which is not desirable for a standard unit.
