Petameter

A petameter (Pm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 1 quadrillion meters (1 petameter = 10¹⁵ meters). This unit is extremely large and is used mainly in astronomy and theoretical physics to describe vast distances, such as those between stars or galaxies. For example, one petameter is about 105.7 light years. Since it measures such enormous distances, the petameter is not used in everyday life or common scientific applications—it’s mostly used in discussions about the scale of the universe.

Centiinch

A centiinch is a very small unit of length equal to one-hundredth of an inch (0.01 inch). It is not commonly used in everyday measurement but may appear in fields requiring precise fractional measurements based on the inch.

Key details:

• 
  

  1 centiinch = 0.01 inch

  
  
• 
  

  Equivalent to 0.254 millimeters

  
  
• 
  

  Used for fine measurements where inch subdivisions are preferred

  
  
• 
  

  Rare and mostly of specialized or historical interest

  
  

The centiinch allows for more detailed measurements within the inch system, similar to how centimeters subdivide a meter.
