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 / 1 000 000 000 000 ) of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.
The nanometre (SI symbol: nm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −9 metres ( 1 / 1 000 000 000 m = 0. 000 000 001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −9 and 10 −8 m (1 nm and 10 nm).
The nanometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: nm), or nanometer (American spelling), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billionth (short scale) or one thousand million (long scale) of a meter (0.000000001 m) and to 1000 picometres.

It was only in 1960, when the metre was redefined in the same way, that the angstrom became again equal to 10 −10 metre. Yet the angstrom was never part of the SI system of units, [13] [14] and has been increasingly replaced by the nanometre (10 −9 m) or picometre (10 −12 m).
[4] It is approximately equal to 1.0936 yd. Other SI units are derived from the meter by adding prefixes, as in millimeter or kilometer, thus producing systematic decimal multiples and submultiples of the base unit that span many orders of magnitude. For example, a kilometer is 1000 m.
The statohm is a unit of electric resistance equal to 1 statV/statA, corresponding to ~ 898.755 1787 GΩ. The statsiemens or statmho is a unit of electric conductance equal to 1 statA/statV, corresponding to ~ 1.112 646 pS. [6] The stathenry is a unit of electric inductance equal to 1 statV·s/statA, corresponding to ~ 898.755 1787 GH. [7] [6] [a]
'unit of measurement') is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10 −15 metres, which means a quadrillionth of one metre. This distance is sometimes called a fermi and was so named in honour of Italian naturalized to American physicist Enrico Fermi , as it is a typical length-scale of nuclear physics .
