What are Decimeter and Micron

Definition of Decimeter

A decimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equaling one-tenth of a meter. It is commonly used in countries that adopt the International System of Units. The decimeter is not as widely used as the centimeter and meter, but serves as a valuable measurement for various scientific and everyday applications where an intermediate scale is required.

Definition of Micron

A micron, also known as a micrometer, is a unit of length that is one-millionth of a meter. It is represented by the symbol µm. Microns are used extensively in various scientific fields, including biology, materials science, and engineering, to measure microscopic distances and the size of cells, bacteria, and other small particles.
