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:
- 1 m -- wavelength of the highest VHF radio frequency, 300 MHz
- 1.1 - 1.2 m -- a pizoteThe pizote, also known as the white-nosed coati (Nasua narica) is a member of the raccoon family. It has a long shovel shaped snout that extends beyond its lower jaw, and a 20-25 inch long erect tail with 6-7 light bands on it. It has crushing molars and (mammal)
- 1.435m -- Standard gaugeAs railways developed and expanded one of the key issues to be decided was that of the rail gauge (the distance between the two rails of the track) which should be used. The eventual result was the adoption throughout a large part of the world of a standa of railway track
- 1.70 m (5 feet 7 inches) - one smootA separate article treats Senator Reed Smoot, champion of the eponymous Smoot-Hawley Tariff. A smoot is a unit of distance (or " length", as physical scientists say) used for measuring the Harvard Bridge. It is named after an MIT fraternity pledge at Lamb
- 1.83 m -- (6 feet) height of average/tall male humanHuman beings are defined variously in biological, spiritual, and cultural terms, or in combinations thereof. Biologically, they are classified as Homo sapiens ( Latin for knowing man , a primate species of mammal with a highly developed brain. In spiritua
- 2.77 - 3.44 m -- wavelength of the broadcast radioFor other uses see: radio (disambiguation Radio is a technology that allows the transmission of signals by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of light. Radio waves Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and are FM band 108 - 87 MHz
- 3.048 m -- (10 feet) height of the basket in basketball
- 3.054 m -- The length of an old Mini
- 3.63 m -- the record wingspan for living birds (a Wandering Albatross).
- 3.66 m -- The length of a new Mini
- 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
