Decimeters unit in Length

A decimeter (dm) is a unit of length equal to one-tenth of a meter, or 10 centimeters. This unit is often used in situations where a meter is too large, but a centimeter is too small, such as in measuring the dimensions of furniture or small rooms. Decimeters provide a practical way to quantify medium-scale lengths and are particularly useful in educational contexts and certain engineering applications.

Gigameters unit in Length

A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length equal to one billion meters, or 10^9 meters. Gigameters are used in astronomy and space science to describe large distances within the solar system, such as the distance from the Earth to distant planets. This unit provides a manageable way to express the vast expanses between objects in space.
