What are Millimeter and Gigameter

Definition of Millimeter

A millimeter, symbolized as mm, is a unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to one-thousandth of a meter, which is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Millimeters are commonly used to measure small distances or lengths, where precision is required. Its widespread use in engineering, manufacturing, and everyday measurements makes it a fundamental unit within the metric system.

Definition of Gigameter

A gigameter, represented by the symbol Gm, is a unit of length that is part of the metric system. It is equivalent to one billion meters, or 10^9 meters. Gigameters are not commonly used in daily measurements due to their extremely large scale, which is well suited for expressing astronomical distances, such as the distances between planets or across galaxies. The gigameter helps in scientific fields where dealing with vast lengths is the norm.
