Length Converter

A Length Converter is a tool used to convert between different units of length or distance. Length is one of the most commonly measured physical quantities, and it can be expressed in various units depending on the system being used (metric, imperial, or others). Common units include meters, centimeters, inches, feet, kilometers, miles, and many more.

Common Units of Length:

1. Meter (m): The SI (International System of Units) base unit for length.
2. Kilometer (km): 1,000 meters. Often used for measuring larger distances, like the distance between cities.
3. Centimeter (cm): 1/100th of a meter. Used for smaller measurements like the size of a person or object.
4. Millimeter (mm): 1/1,000th of a meter. Common for measuring small items or thickness.
5. Micrometer (µm): 1/1,000,000th of a meter. Used for precise measurements, such as in the field of engineering and manufacturing.
6. Inch (in): A unit used mainly in the United States and the UK. 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
7. Foot (ft): 1 foot = 12 inches. Used for measuring height, room sizes, etc.
8. Yard (yd): 1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches.
9. Mile (mi): 1 mile = 1,609.344 meters or 5,280 feet. Used for larger distances, such as those between cities.
10. Nautical Mile (NM or nmi): Common in maritime and air navigation. 1 nautical mile = 1,852 meters or 6,076.1 feet.
