  2. 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 10 −3 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 ⁠ m = 0.001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −3 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)

    Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales.The microwave is between 1 meter to 1 millimeter.. The millimetre (international spelling; SI unit symbol mm) or millimeter (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousandth of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_units_of_measurement

    The units of measurement of German-speaking countries consist of a variety of units, with varying local standard definitions. While many were made redundant with the introduction of the metric system, some of these units are still used in everyday speech and even in stores and on street markets as shorthand for similar amounts in the metric system.

    The net should be edged with 0.05 m tape double at the top and the bottom of the net supported by a fine ordinary cord or nylon cord that runs through the tape and strain over and flush with the top of the posts. The top of the net shall be 1.52 m (1.42 m for women) in height from the center and 1.55 m (1.45 m for women) at the posts.

    This format is still used in many personal video cameras today and has influenced the selection or design of other aspect ratios. It is the standard Super 35 mm ratio. 1.37:1 ~ 48:35 16 mm and 35 mm standard ratio. 1.375:1 = 11:8 35 mm full-screen sound film image, nearly universal in films between 1932 and 1953.

    Set back for the driver of the vehicle on the crossroad has been standardized by some state MUTCDs and design manuals to be up to a minimum of 10 feet plus the shoulder width of the major road but not less than 15 feet. [22] However, the Federal MUTCD requires that a stop line, if used, shall be at least 4 feet from the nearest travel lane. [23]

    The speed of light could then be expressed exactly as c 0 = 299,792,458 m/s, a standard also adopted by the IERS numerical standards. [19] From this definition and the 2009 IAU standard, the time for light to traverse an astronomical unit is found to be τ A = 499.004 783 8061 ± 0.000 000 01 s , which is slightly more than 8 minutes 19 seconds.
