List of examples of lengths

This is a list of examples of lengths, in metres in order to give an understanding of lengths.
1 picometre.
Lengths between 10−12 and 10−11 m (1 and 10 pm).
10 picometres.
Lengths between 10−11 and 10−10 m (10 pm and 100 pm).
100 picometres.
Lengths between 10−10 and 10−9 m (100 pm and 1 nm).
10 nanometres 1x10−9m.
To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10−8 and 10−7 m (10 and 100 nm).
100 nanometres.
Lengths between 10−7 and 10−6 m (100 nm and 1 µm).
1 micrometre.
To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists some items with lengths between 10−6 and 10−5 m (between 1 and 10 micrometres, or µm).
10 micrometres.
To help compare different orders of magnitude, this page lists lengths between 10−5 and 10−4 m (10 µm and 100 µm).
100 micrometres.
To help compare different orders of magnitude, this page lists lengths between 10−4 and 10−3 m (100 µm and 1 mm).
1 millimeter.
To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10−3 and 10−2 m (1 mm and 1 cm).
1 centimeter.
Lengths between 10−2 and 10−1 m (1 and 10 cm).
1 decimetre.
Lengths between 10 and 100 centimetres (10−1 and 1 metre).
Conversions.
10 centimetres (abbreviated to 10 cm) is equal to
1 gigametre.
Lengths starting at 109 metres (1 gigametre (Gm) or 1 million kilometres).
Distances shorter than 109 metres
