An adult human foot is about 28 cm (11 in) long. The decimetre ( SI symbol: dm ) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −1 metres ( 1 / 10 m = 0.1 m ). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 centimetres and 100 centimetres (10 −1 metre and 1 metre).
List of motor yachts by length. M/Y Azzam, seen here in Cadiz, Spain, during the summer of 2020, is the world's longest luxury yacht. This list of motor yachts by length, is a table of the world's longest active superyachts, with an overall length of at least 75 metres (246 ft) and up. These boats are also known as "megayachts", "gigayachts ...
Human height. Human height or stature is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a human body, standing erect. It is measured using a stadiometer, [1] in centimetres when using the metric system or SI system, [2][3] or feet and inches when using United States customary units or the imperial system. [4][5] In the early ...
The longest wooden ship ever built, the six-masted New England gaff schooner Wyoming, had a "total length" of 137 metres (449 ft) (measured from tip of jibboom (30 metres) to tip of spanker boom (27 metres) and a "length on deck" of 107 m (351 ft). The 30 m (98 ft)-difference is due to her extremely long jibboom of 30 m (98 ft) her out-board ...
The second-tallest structure in the world is the 679-metre-tall (2,227 ft) Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, while the third-tallest self-supporting structure and the tallest tower in the world is the Tokyo Skytree (634 m or 2,080 ft). The tallest guyed structure is the KRDK-TV mast in North Dakota, U.S. at 630 metres (2,060 ft).
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. Since an international agreement in 1959 ...
The world's longest suspension bridges are listed according to the length of their main span (i.e., the length of suspended roadway between the bridge's towers). The length of the main span is the most common method of comparing the sizes of suspension bridges, often correlating with the height of the towers and the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge.

Size comparison of a human to Q. northropi (green) and Q. lawsoni (blue) In 1975, Douglas Lawson compared the wing bones of Quetzalcoatlus northropi 's holotype to equivalent elements in Dsungaripterus and Pteranodon , and suggested that it represented an individual with a wingspan of around 15.5 m (51 ft), though presented alternative ...
