at scales within direct human experience, from the micrometric (106 m, top left) to the multi-kilometric (105 m, bottom right).

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10−3 m and 10−2 m (1 mm and 1 cm).

Distances shorter than 1 mm
  • 1.0 mm – 1/1000 of a metre
  • 1.0 mm – 0.03937 inches or 5/127 (exactly)
  • 1.0 mm – side of square of area 1 mm²
  • 1.0 mm – diameter of a pinhead
  • 1.5 mm – length of average flea[1]
  • 2.54 mm – distance between pins on old DIP (dual-inline-package) electronic components
  • 5 mm – length of average red ant
  • 5.56×45mm NATO – standard ammunition size
  • 6 mm – approximate width of a pencil
  • 7.62×51mm NATO – common military ammunition size[2]
  • 8 mm – width of old-format home movie film
Distances longer than 1 cm
