Length Conversion

Use this length conversion tool to convert between commonly used length units. Select the current unit in the upper column, the desired unit in the lower column, and enter a value in the upper column to generate the resulting conversion. You can choose multiple units from kilometers (km), miles (mi), nautical miles (nmi), meter (m), yards (yd), inches (in), feet (ft) centimeters (cm) up to nanometers.

Introduction

Convert Metric Units of Length with mm, cm, m, and km conversions?

How do you convert metric lengths?

What is Length?

The term length refers to the size of an object or the distance between two points. The length of an object or the distance between two points is measured in length. The longest side of an object is its extended dimension or length. The meter is the SI unit of length, while the centimeter is the base unit in the cgs system.

We can convert a meter into millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), and kilometers (km) depending on the length that needs to be measured (km).

Centimeters and millimeters are used to measure shorter distances, while meters and kilometers are used to measure longer distances. For example, the length of a pencil can be measured in centimeters (cm), while the distance between two buildings or locations can be measured in kilometers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you convert measurements?

There are just two simple steps: 1.Find a conversion factor between the given units and the desired units, and write it as an equation. 2.Convert that equation to a fraction with the desired units on top and the given units on the bottom.

What length is 1m?

one meter 1m (one meter) is approximately equal to one yard. About 39 inches.

What is length and width?

Definition: Length is the distance from one end to the other end of an object, while width is the distance from side to side. Length is a type of measurement that shows how tall or long an object is.

Is a meter smaller than a foot?

Feet are smaller than meters, so there should be more feet than meters. The conversion is 1 ft = 0.3048 meters.

Is length a height?

The difference between length and height is very precise, as length denotes how long a shape is and height denotes how tall it is. Length is the horizontal measurement in a plane whereas height is the vertical measurement.

What are the examples of length?

The definition of length is how long something is, or the amount of vertical space or time it takes up. An example of length is two hours for a movie. An example of length is 12 inches.

What does 1 cm look like?

1 centimeter is equal to 0.3937 inches, or 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. ... In other words, 1 centimeter is less than half as big as an inch, so you need about two-and-a-half centimeters to make one inch.

What things are 25 cm?

It's about two-thirds as tall as a Bowling Pin. It's about two-fifths as long as a Woman's Footstep. It's about one-third as long as a Man's Footstep. It's about three-tenths as tall as Verne Troyer. It's about one-fourth as tall as General Tom Thumb. It's about one-fourth as tall as Kenny Baker.

How many times is 1 mm longer than 1cm?

Metric units use a base numbering system of 10. Thus a centimeter is ten times larger than a millimeter.

How many cm go into an inch?

2.54 centimeters The value of 1 inch is approximately equal to 2.54 centimeters. To convert inches to the centimeter values, multiply the given inch value by 2.54 cm.
