Micrometers unit in Length

A micrometer (µm), also known as a micron, is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter. Micrometers are commonly used in fields like biology, materials science, and engineering to measure microscopic objects, such as cells or tiny mechanical components. This unit is essential for precision work at the micro-scale, where traditional measurement units are too large.

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.
