Centimeter


A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric system. It is commonly used to measure small objects or short distances. One centimeter is equal to one-hundredth of a meter, meaning 100 centimeters make 1 meter. In everyday life, centimeters are used to measure height, the size of books, or dimensions of furniture. For example, a pencil might be about 15 cm long. The symbol for centimeter is "cm", and it is widely used around the world, especially in countries that follow the metric system. Rulers and measuring tapes often include centimeter markings to help with precise measurements. The centimeter is a practical and easy-to-use unit that helps in getting accurate sizes for various items.


Planck Length


The Planck length is the smallest meaningful unit of length in physics, representing a fundamental scale at which classical ideas about gravity and space-time break down and quantum effects dominate.



  • It is defined as approximately 1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ meters.



  • The Planck length is derived from fundamental constants: the speed of light, Planck’s constant, and the gravitational constant.



  • It sets a theoretical limit below which the very concepts of space and distance may lose conventional meaning.



  • Used mainly in theories of quantum gravity and string theory.



Key facts:



  • 1 Planck length ≈ 1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ m



  • Smallest scale in quantum physics and cosmology



  • Represents a scale where quantum effects of gravity become significant



The Planck length is crucial for understanding the fabric of the universe at its most fundamental level.
