Picometre
Picometre (American spelling: picometer, symbol: pm) is an SI measure of length that is equal to 10−12 of a metre. It is commonly used in measuring atomic-scale distances; atom diameters are in the range from ~30 to 600 pm.
- 1 pm = 1 × 10−12 metre
- 1 pm = 1000 femtometre
- 100 pm = 1 ångström
- 1000 pm = 1 nanometre
- 1 nm = 1000 picometres
femtometre << picometre << nanometre
