Picometer

A picometer (pm) is an extremely small unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-trillionth of a meter (1 pm = 10⁻¹² meters). Picometers are used to measure things on the atomic and subatomic scale, such as the size of atoms or the distance between particles in a molecule. For example, a hydrogen atom is about 50 picometers in radius. This unit is mainly used in physics, chemistry, and nanotechnology. Because it's so small, you won’t see picometers used in everyday life — they are only relevant in scientific research where ultra-precise measurements are required.

Hectometer

A hectometer (hm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 100 meters. It is larger than a meter but smaller than a kilometer. While it is part of the official metric system, the hectometer is rarely used in daily life or science. For example, a running track is 400 meters long, which is 4 hectometers. The symbol for hectometer is "hm". Although not commonly seen, it can be useful for measuring medium-range distances, especially when kilometers feel too large and meters too small.
