If you mean the "point" that is used in Australia to measure the extent of rainfall, it is equivalent to 1/100 inch. If you mean the "point" that is used to measure the thickness of paper and paperboard, it is equivalent to 1/1000 inch. If you mean the "point" that is used to measure the size of type used in printing, it is 0.013837 inch, or approximately 1/72 inch. [By agreement in the printing industry and in the field of typography, the "point" has been rounded to exactly 1/72 inch; thus, there are 72 points to the inch.]
