As far as I know, the answer to all the above is Points. From Excel Help on ColumnWidth property:
One unit of column width is equal to the width of one character in the Normal style. For proportional fonts, the width of the character 0 (zero) is used.
Use the Width (mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20Office\Office10\1033\vbaxl10. chm::/html/xlproWidth.htm) property to return the width of a column in points

How about chart object size unit?

I need some way to find out the relationship between them

And one more point:

the row height is :10.2
column width is : 8.4

But the cells width look greater a lot in comparison to the height ???

Chartobjects as far as I know are measured in points.
Also, as I posted above, the column width, which is what you see if you select Format->Column->Width is how many characters wide the column is. The Row Height is given in points. If you use the Width property in VBA you get points rather than characters.
