Recently Terry wrote (regarding average planet densities):
planet density kg/m = 7,820
planet density g/cm =  9060

etc. Surely those units should be "kilograms per CUBIC metre" and
"grams per CUBIC centimetre". May I assume that the "m  and the "cm"
symbols were supposed to have "cubed" (superscript 3) after each?

He also wrote:
the famous
21.6 cm "water hole" frequency ... in ... searches
for signals from other civilizations).

seti frequency water = 7,600 seti wavelength water = 2,340

The units on the frequency of 7600 is missing entirely. Are they hertz "Hz", or kilohertz "kHz", megahertz "MHz", Gigahertz GHz", or what? Similarly, the units on the seti wavelength are missing entirely, What are they? Are they metres, centimetres, or what?

And how are the seti frequency and wavelength related to the 21.6 cm
frequency referred to previously? Surely the seti wavelength given as
"2340" can't correspond to the 21.6 cm wavelength no matter what other
"metric" units are used for the "2340" number.
