4. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

   The factor–label method can convert only unit quantities for which the units are in a linear relationship intersecting at 0 (ratio scale in Stevens's typology). Most conversions fit this paradigm. An example for which it cannot be used is the conversion between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale (or the Fahrenheit scale). Between degrees ...

   {{convert|100|Mm|mm}} → 100 megametres (1.0 × 10 11 mm) The output of {{convert}} can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the pipe separator). Typical combination output units are listed below in column 7. {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}} → 55 nautical miles (102 km; 63 mi)

6. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

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

   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 centimeters and 100 centimeters (10 −1 meter and 1 meter).

   By default, the output value is rounded to adjust its precision to match that of the input. An input such as 1234 is interpreted as 1234 ± 0.5, while 1200 is interpreted as 1200 ± 50, and the output value is displayed accordingly, taking into account the scale factor used in the conversion.

8. List of metric units - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metric_units

   Metric units are units based on the metre, gram or second and decimal (power of ten) multiples or sub-multiples of these. According to Schadow and McDonald, [ 1 ] metric units, in general, are those units "defined 'in the spirit' of the metric system, that emerged in late 18th century France and was rapidly adopted by scientists and engineers.

9. International System of Units - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units

   The conversion between different SI units for one and the same physical quantity is always through a power of ten. This is why the SI (and metric systems more generally) are called decimal systems of measurement units. [10] The grouping formed by a prefix symbol attached to a unit symbol (e.g. ' km ', ' cm ') constitutes a new inseparable unit ...
