describe the relationship between a meter, a millimeter, and a micrometer?

Answer 1

A millimeter is 10^-3 meters....Micrometer is 10^-6 meters

Answer 2

1000 millimeters = 1 meter
10 micrometers = 1 millimeter
therefore 10000 micrometers = 1 meter

Answer 3

A meter is a unit of measurement. A millimeter is a thousands of a meter, or one meter is equal to 1000.0 millimeters. A micrometer is a measuring tool. Or as a measurement, micrometer (n.) A unit of length equal to one thousandth (10-3) of a millimeter or one millionth (10-6)of a meter.

Answer 4

The metre, or meter (US), is a measure of length. It is the basic unit of length in the metric system and in the International System of Units (SI), used around the world for general and scientific purposes. The symbol for metre is m. Historically, the metre was defined by the French Academy of Sciences as 1/10,000,000 of the distance from the equator to the north pole through Paris. Now, it is defined by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures as the distance travelled by light in absolute vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. This is approximately the distance from floor to hip bone on the average barefoot man.

Decimal multiples and submultiples of the metre, such as kilometre (1000 metres) and centimetre (1/100 metre), are indicated by adding SI prefixes to metre (see table below).

and

A millimetre (American spelling: millimeter, symbol mm) is one thousandth of a metre, which is the International System of Units (SI) base unit of length. The millimetre is part of a metric system. A corresponding unit of area is the square millimetre and a corresponding unit of volume is the cubic millimetre.

micrometre << millimetre << centimetre << decimetre << metre << decametre << kilometre

and

A micrometre (American spelling: micrometer, symbol µm) is an SI unit of length equal to one millionth of a metre, or about a tenth of the size of a droplet of mist or fog. It is also commonly known as a micron, although that term is officially outdated. It can be written in the expanded mathmatical notation (1×10−6 m)

The symbol µ (Unicode character U+00B5; HTML µ) is the "micro sign", which should look identical to the Greek letter mu (μ) (the two may or may not look the same, depending on the font). The symbol "um" is sometimes used, when the µ and μ are not available, for example when using a typewriter.

The micrometre is a common unit of measurement for wavelengths of infrared radiation. Some people (especially in astronomy and the semiconductor business) use the old name micron and/or the solitary symbol µ (both of which were official between 1879 and 1967) to denote a micrometre. This practice persists in the face of official discouragement, perhaps to help disambiguate between the unit of measurement and the micrometer, a measuring device.

nanometre << micrometre << millimetre

Answer 5

this is not differences, that's quotients. A kilometer is defined as 1000 meters A centimeter is defined as one hundredth of a meter A millimeter is defined as 1000th of a meter A micrometer (reported as MY-crow-ME-ter, as unfavorable to my-KRAW-mitt-er) is defined as a millionth of a meter. while micrometer is reported as "my-KRAW-mitt-er", this is the call of a gadget of precise thickness length. It does not inevitably degree all the way down to the accuracy of a million micrometer.

Answer 6

A millimeter is one thousandth as long as a meter.

A micrometer is one millionth as long as a meter.

Answer 7

meter - largest, Centimeter,- large, millimeter - small, and micrometer - smallest

Answer 8

meter= long
millimeter= short
micrometer=shorter

Answer 9

The relationship is that they're all measurements, be more specific!

Answer 10

They all have the word 'meter' in them............
