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.
