Megameter
A megameter (Mm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 1 million meters (1 Mm = 10⁶ meters or 1,000 kilometers). Megameters are used to measure very large distances, typically on a global or planetary scale. For example, the Earth’s diameter is about 12.7 megameters. Although it’s a valid metric unit, the megameter is rarely used in everyday life or science, as kilometers or other astronomical units are more common for such distances.
Microinch
A microinch is a very small unit of length used primarily in precision engineering and manufacturing. It equals one-millionth of an inch (0.000001 inch), which is approximately 0.0254 micrometers (µm).
Microinches are used to measure extremely fine tolerances, surface finishes, and thicknesses in high-precision machining, electronics, and materials science.
Key facts:
1 microinch = 0.000001 inch
1 microinch ≈ 0.0254 micrometers (µm)
Used in precision engineering for very small measurements
Allows for accurate description of surface roughness and thickness
The microinch is essential in fields requiring ultra-fine measurements where standard units like the inch or millimeter are too large.
