What are Millimeter and Micrometer

A millimeter, symbolized as mm, is a unit of length in the metric system. It represents one-thousandth of a meter, the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Millimeters are widely used for small-scale measurements such as dimensions of objects, distances on maps, or diameters of tools.

A micrometer, denoted as µm, is a unit of length in the metric system. It is equivalent to one-millionth of a meter, which is the SI base unit of length. Micrometers are commonly used in engineering and science to measure microscopic distances, such as the thickness of a thin film or the size of bacteria.

History of Millimeter and Micrometer
