    11 cm = 1.1 dm – length of an average potato in the US; 13 cm = 1.3 dm – body length of a Goliath birdeater; 15 cm = 1.5 dm – approximate size of largest beetle species; 19 cm = 1.9 dm – length of a banana; 26.3 cm = 2.6 dm – length of average male human foot; 29.98 cm = 2.998 dm – distance light in vacuum travels in one nanosecond

    1.609344 km = 1 miles Units used to denote distances in the vastness of space, as in astronomy, are much longer than those typically used on Earth (metre or kilometre) and include the astronomical unit (au), the light-year, and the parsec (pc). Units used to denote sub-atomic distances, as in nuclear physics, are

  4. Picometre - Wikipedia

    3.9370 × 10 −11 in Look up picometre in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. The picometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures ; SI symbol: pm ) or picometer ( American spelling ) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 × 10 −12 m , or one trillionth ( ⁠ 1 / 1 ...

  5. String girdling Earth - Wikipedia

    Surprisingly, the answer is 2 π m or around 6.3 metres (21 ft). In the second phrasing, considering that 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) is almost negligible compared with the 40,000 km (25,000 mi) circumference, the first response may be that the new position of the string will be no different from the original surface-hugging position.

    [25] [26] The standard FIFA football pitch for international matches is 105 m (344 ft) long by 68 m (223 ft) wide (7,140 m 2 or 0.714 ha or 1.76 acres); FIFA allows for a variance of up to 5 m (16.4 ft) in length in either direction and 7 m (23.0 ft) more or 4 m (13.1 ft) less in width (and larger departures if the pitch is not used for ...

  7. 8.8 cm KwK 43 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.8_cm_KwK_43

    At 6.24 m (20.5 ft), the length of the KwK 43's barrel was over 1.3 metres longer than of that of the 8.8 cm KwK 36 used for the Tiger I.The cartridge of the KwK 43's shell was also considerably longer (at 82.2 centimetres (32.4 in)) and wider than that of the KwK 36's, meaning that the KwK 43 allows for more room for a heavier propellant charge in its cartridge case than the KwK 36 could.

  8. Reciprocal length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_length

    Spatial frequency is a reciprocal length, which can thus be used as a measure of energy, usually of a particle. For example, the reciprocal centimetre, cm1, is an energy unit equal to the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 1 cm. That energy amounts to approximately 1.24 × 10 −4 eV or 1.986 × 10 −23 J.
