  2. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

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

    The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10−2 metres (⁠ 1 100 ⁠ m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 101 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimetres. 1 cm – 0.39 inches. 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2.

  3. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    In SI units, the values of c, h, e and k B are exact and the values of ε 0 and G in SI units respectively have relative uncertainties of 1.6 × 1010 ‍ [16] and 2.2 × 10 −5. ‍ [17] Hence, the uncertainties in the SI values of the Planck units derive almost entirely from uncertainty in the SI value of G.

  4. Net metering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_metering

    Net metering, unlike a feed-in tariff, requires only one meter, but it must be bi-directional. There is considerable confusion [citation needed] between the terms "net metering" and "feed-in tariff"# (FIT). In general there are three types of compensation for local, distributed generation:

  5. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    Ultrasonic flow meter. Mass flow meter (Coriolis force). Flow measurement methods other than positive-displacement flowmeters rely on forces produced by the flowing stream as it overcomes a known constriction, to indirectly calculate flow. Flow may be measured by measuring the velocity of fluid over a known area.

  6. Metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre

    The metre (or meter in US spelling; symbol: m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Since 2019, the metre has been defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of ⁠ 1 299 792 458⁠ of a second, where the second is defined by a hyperfine transition frequency of caesium.

  7. Foot (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_(unit)

    0.3048 m. 30.48 cm. 304.8 mm. The foot (standard symbol: ft) [1][2] is a unit of length in the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. The prime symbol, ′, is commonly used to represent the foot. [3] In both customary and imperial units, one foot comprises 12 inches, and one yard comprises three feet.

  8. Picometre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picometre

    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.

  9. Observable universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe

    The observable universe is thus a sphere with a diameter of about 28.5 gigaparsecs [32] (93 billion light-years or 8.8 × 10 26 m). [33] Assuming that space is roughly flat (in the sense of being a Euclidean space), this size corresponds to a comoving volume of about 1.22 × 10 4 Gpc 3 (4.22 × 10 5 Gly 3 or 3.57 × 10 80 m 3). [34]
