...As long as you make it, Buster.
The units used may differ but all lengths are a measure of the distance one would have to travel in one dimension to go from one end of the object, the string (laid so all points are collinear), to the other.

In 1974 one of the math dons at Trinity College Cambridge died, and they went into his rooms to tidy up.
When they opened the bureau, there was a small draw labelled "bits of string too small to be of further use". They opened the draw, and guess what they found!

as long as it's long enough to lasoo all the chavs in Newport and drag them into the sea to drown, who cares?
Have you always noticed though, that one end of the length of string is longer than the other?

It' the length from one end to another . It could be anything like miles cm km ...etc or else twice the length from the centre to the end

As long as you make it ; it could be <1cm or 100cm or in theory infinitely long

It's as long as you want it to be. It can be infinitesimally
small or infinitely large!
