UNITS OF DISTANCE

Some Smaller Units of Distance:

    ·         1 cm = 10^-2 m

    ·         1 mm = 10^-3 m

    ·         1 micron = 10^-4 cm = 10^-6 m

    ·         1 nanometre = 10^-7 cm = 10^-9 m

    ·         1 angstrom = 10^-8  cm = 10^-10 m

    ·         1 fermi = 10^-13 cm = 10^-15 m

       Bigger Units of Distance:

  

     ·         1 light year = 9.46 * 10¹⁵ m

    ·         1 parsec = 3.08 * 10¹⁶ m = 3.26 light year

    ·         1 astronomical unit = 1.496 * 10¹¹ m
