This article is supposed to give an overview about land in Second Life, going from the smallest to the largest scale.

Parcel

An area of land owned by a single user or group, which is at least 16m² and at maximum 65,536m², all within one region. Parcels are composed of square blocks measuring 4×4 meters, but the blocks do not have to be contiguous. Parcels have both an integer local id and a global UUID. Parcel settings are modifiable in the About Land options.

Region

A named 256m x 256m (65,536 m²) area hosted by a single simulator process (sim). In common usage, the term "simulator" or "sim" may also refer to a region, but in fact a single sim process can host mulitple regions.

There are currently three types of regions: Full, Homestead and Openspace (also known as Void). All got the same size, but differ in their avatar-, and primlimits, as well as in their prize. See SL Knowledge Base: Private Region Types for official info.

Grid

A collection of sims (e.g. Agni & Aditi). Linden Lab runs several grids for internal and external testing. Contrary to common believe, the Teen Grid and Main Grid are different estates on the same Grid (Agni), rather than different Grids. Linden Lab's grids are named after Hindu gods. Many of the grids supported by the client are either inaccessible to the public or no longer active. Agni The primary Second Life grid to which users connect; named after the Vedic god of Fire, mentioned in the four Vedas. Some images of the Agni grid are available in this wiki. To download the latest client for the Agni grid click: HERE Aditi The beta test grid available to Residents for testing the Second Life server software before it's deployed to the main grid (Agni); named after the Vedic mother goddess, cosmic creatrix.
