The micrometre (SI symbol: μm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −6 metres ( 1 / 1 000 000 m = 0. 000 001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists some items with lengths between 10 −6 and 10 −5 m (between 1 and 10 micrometers, or μm). ~0.7–300 μm – wavelength of infrared radiation
Measured sail area : 30 m 2; Maximum cockpit area: 2 m 2; The LWL taken into account in the formula is at least of the 4/5 the length. Olympic results. 1920.

One barn is equal to 1.0 × 10 −28 m 2. The name derives from the folk expressions "As big as a barn," and "Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn", used by particle accelerator physicists to refer to the probability of achieving a collision between particles. For nuclear purposes, 1.0 × 10 −28 m 2 is actually rather large. [25]
Thirty Meter Telescope, Hawaii, USA – 30 m (1,200 in). Construction began in 2014 but halted in 2015; as of 2022 it has not resumed. [24] Giant Magellan Telescope, Chile – seven 8.4 m mirrors on a single mount. This provides an effective aperture equivalent to a 21.4 m mirror and the resolving power equivalent to a 24.5 m mirror.
By multiplication, the best IAU 2009 estimate was A = c 0 τ A = 149 597 870 700 ± 3 m, [20] based on a comparison of Jet Propulsion Laboratory and IAA–RAS ephemerides. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 23 ] In 2006, the BIPM reported a value of the astronomical unit as 1.495 978 706 91 (6) × 10 11 m . [ 8 ]
Parts-per-million chart of the relative mass distribution of the Solar System, each cubelet denoting 2 × 10 24 kg. This article includes a list of the most massive known objects of the Solar System and partial lists of smaller objects by observed mean radius.
A 50 m × 25 m (164 ft × 82 ft) Olympic swimming pool, built to the FR3 minimum depth of 2 metres (6.6 ft) would hold 2,500 m 3 (660,000 US gal). The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines the Olympic swimming pool as 1 million litres, which is the approximate volume of the smaller FR2 pool.
