Length units of SI (Metric System) & British system:

By ascending:
Picometer (1 / 1000 × 1000 × 1000 × 1000) < Angstrom (1 / 1000 × 1000 × 1000 × 10) <
Nanometer (1 / 1000 × 1000 × 1000) < Micrometer or micron (1 / 1000 × 1000) < Milimeter
(1 / 1000) < centimeter (1 / 100) < decimeter (1 / 10) < Meter (1) < Decameter (10) <
Hectometer (100) < Kilometer (1000) ; Inch, Feet, Yards, Mile.

or,
Pm (10-12) < A (10-10) < nm (10-9) < µ (10-6) < mm (10-3) < cm (10-2) < dm (10-1) < m (100) <
dam (101) < hm (102) < km (103)

Explanation of SI unit (Metric System):

Here, meter is base unit. Deca, hecto, kilo is 10, 100 & 1000 times higher than the base unit.
Similarly, deci, centi & mili is 10, 100 & 1000 times lower than the base unit. Exceptions are
only for mili, micro, nano & pico. For example, 1 mm = 10-3 m , 1 µ = 10-6 m, 1 nm = 10-9 m, 1
pm = 10-12 m.

By Ascending all units:

Picometer (pm) < Angstrom (A) < Nanometer (nm) < Micrometer or Micron (µ) < Milimeter
(mm) < centimeter (cm) < inch < Decimeter (dm) < Meter (m) < Yards (yds) < Foot <
Decameter (DAM) < Hectometer (hm) < Kilometer (Km) < mile. (mi)

Conversions among common units:

1. 1 nm = 10 Angstrom (A)
2. 1 micron or micrometer = 1000 nm = (1000×10) A = 10000 A

3. 1 mm = 1000 micron or micrometer = (1000×1000) nm = 106 nm or 1 million nm = 107 A

4. 1 cm = 10 mm
5. 1 inch = 2.54 cm = (2.54×10) mm = 25.4 mm
6. 1 feet = 12 inch = (12×2.54) cm = 30.48 cm = (30.48×10) mm = 304.8 mm

 7. 1 yards = 3 feet = (3×12) inch = 36 inch = (36×2.54) cm = 91.44 cm = (91.44×10) mm =
914.4 mm

8. 1 m = 1.0936 yards = (1.0936×36) inch = 39.37 inch = (39.3701×2.54) cm = 100 cm =

(100×10) mm = 1000 mm

9. 1 km = 1000 m
10. 1 mile = 1.60934 km

Area units of SI (Metric System) & British system:

Total lists:

Ft2, yards2, m2, acre, hectare (hectometer2), , , km2, mile2

Conversions:
1. 1 hectare = 2.47105 acre = 10000 m2 = (10000/1000×1000) km2 = 0.01 km2
1 km2 = 100 hectare

2. 1 acre = 4046.86 m2 = (4046.86 /1000×1000) km2 = 0.004686 km2

1 km2 = 247.105 acre
3. 1 = 20
4. 1 = 66.89 m2
5. 1 = 1337.8 m2 = (1337.8 / 1000×1000) km2 = 0.0013378 km2
1 km2 = 747.4958

Total lists:

Picogram < Nanogram < Microgram < Miligram < Centigram < Decigram < Gram < Decagram
< Hectogram < Kilogram < Quintal < Ton ; Grain (gr), Ounce (oz), Pound (lb).

Conversions:

1. 1 lb = 16 oz = 456.592 gm = 7000 gr
2. 1 oz = (453.592 / 16) gm = 28.3495 gm = (7000 / 16) gr = 437.5 gr
3. 1 gm = (7000 / 453.592) gr = 15.4324 gr

4. 1 Kg = 1000 gm = (1000 / 453.592) lbs = 2.2046 lbs = (2.2046×16) oz = 35.274 oz =

(35.274×28.3495) gm = 1000 gm = (1000×15.4324) gr = 15432.4 gr = (15432.4 / 7000) =
2.2046 lbs

5. 1 ton = 10 quintal = 1000 Kg
