A millimeter is a measure of length in the metric system. It is a measurement that is 1000th of a meter (meaning that 1000 mm (millimeter) makes up 1m (meter). If you have a standard yardstick, that is sold at most hardware stores, usually you will find two scales on it, on one side is the English ( the system commonly used in the US) and on the other side, a metric scale (used elsewhere in the world).
