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

  • Shorter distances
  • 1.0 mm is equal to:
    • 0.1 centimetres
    • 1/1000 of a metre (a tall adult male human would be about two metres)
    • 0.039 inch.
    • side of square of area 1 mm2.
    • edge of cube of volume 1 mm3.
  • 2.54 mm -- distance between pins on old DIP (dual-in-pair) electronic components
  • 5 mm -- length of average red ant
  • 7.62 mm -- common military ammunition size
