∙ 14y agoThe metric system is based on units of 10. For example, in meters, a megameter (Mm) is one million meters, a kilometer (km) is one thousand meters, a decimeter (dm) is a tenth of a meter, a centimeter (cm) is a hundredth of a meter, a millimeter (mm) is a thousandth, a micrometer a millionth, and a nanometer (nm) a billionth.
