    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decametre

    A decametre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and by most English speaking countries, [1] [2] United States spelling dekameter or decameter [3] [4]), symbol dam ("da" for the SI prefix deca-, [1] "m" for the SI unit metre), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to ten metres.

  4. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The millimetre (SI symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 103 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 ⁠ m = 0.001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 103 m and 10 −2 m (1 mm and 1 cm). 1.0 mm – 1/1,000 of a meter; 1.0 mm – 0.03937 inches or 5/127 (exactly)

  5. Tatar units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatar_units_of_measurement

    Traditional Tatar units of measurement were used by Tatars until 1924 but became obsolete when the Soviet Union adopted the metric system.. The Tatar system shares many units with the Russian system (e.g. sajın and disätinä), which is close to the English (the Russian system under Peter the Great was redefined relative to the English system), therefore a duym is relatively equal to an inch.

    Here, the base units are the quad, equal to 10 7 m (approximately a quadrant of the Earth's circumference), the eleventhgram, equal to 10 −11 g, and the second. These were chosen so that the corresponding electrical units of potential difference, current and resistance had a convenient magnitude. [36]: 268 [37]: 17
