1 E0 m

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between one metre and ten metres. One metre is equivalent to 39 inches, 3.28 feet, 100 centimetres, or 1000 millimetres.

• Distances shorter than 1 m
• 1 metre is:
  • side of square with area 1 m².
  • edge of cube with surface area 6 m² and volume 1 m³.
  • radius of circle with area 3.14 m²
  • radius of sphere with surface area 12.56 m² and volume 4.19 m³
• 1 m -- wavelength of the highest VHF radio frequency, 300 MHz
• 1.1 - 1.2 m -- a pizote (mammal)
• 1.435m -- Standard gauge of railway track
• 1.70 m (5 feet 7 inches) - one smoot
• 1.83 m -- (6 feet) height of average/tall male human
• 2.77 - 3.44 m -- wavelength of the broadcast radio FM band 108 - 87 MHz
• 3.048 m -- (10 feet) height of the basket in basketball
• 3.63 m -- the record wingspan for living birds (a Wandering Albatross).
• 4.80 - 5.50 m -- height of a giraffe
• 7.5m -- approximate length of the human gastrointestinal tract.
• 10 m -- wavelength of the lowest VHF radio frequency, 30 MHz
• Distances longer than 10 m
