yes a micrometer is smaller unit of measurement in the metric system. micro denoted by μ is 0.000001 of 1 meter.

A millimeter, denoted by m, is 0.001 of one meter. Although small, a millimeter is by far the larger of the two.

What measurement is smaller than a millimeter?

millimetre = 10-3. micrometre = 10-6. nanometre = 10-9. picometre = 10-12. So basically micrometre, nanometre and picometre is the answer.


Are there smaller units of measurement than milimeters?

no * * * * * Of course there are! 1 micrometre (or micron) = one thousandth of a millimetre, 1 nanometre = one millionth of a millimetre 1 picometre = one billionth of a millimetre 1 femto = one trillionth of a millimetre 1 attometre = one quadrillionth of a millimetre 1 zeptometre = one quintillionth of a millimetre 1 yoctometre = one sextillionth of a millimetre and also 1 Planck's length = 162 nonillionth a millimetre (approx)


Which are the 4 units which is smaller than meter?

There are: decimetre, centimetre, millimetre, micrometre, nanometre, picometre, femtometre, attometre, zeptometre, yoctometre ... oops that's 10 units smaller than a metre.


What do you call for a dimension which is less than 1 millimeter?

A micrometre (or micron) which is one thousandths of a millimetre. Or a nanometre, which is a millionth of a millimetre.


How many times larger than a micrometre is a millimetre?

Well milli means 1/1000 and micro means 1/1,000,000. Therefore 1000000/1000 is 1000. A millimetre is 1000 times larger than a micron (micrometre).


What is miles closer to?

The answer depends on what the comparisons are between. For example, a mile is closer to a millimetre than it is to a micrometre.


What is seven tenths of a millimeter?

You need to change 1 millimetre to smaller units. The next unit smaller than a millimetre is the 'micrometre', or micron (abbreviated to μm). 1 mm = 1000 μm. So, 7/10 of 1mm = 7/10 of 1000 μm = 700 μm.


What is smaller than a millimetre?

A micrometer.


Is there something smaller than a millimetre?

Yes, there are quite a few units smaller than the millimetre. A micron is 1/1000th of mm. A nano metre is 1 millionth of a millimetre. A picometre is 1 billionth of a millimetre. See femto and attometre and also angstrom for further things smaller than a metre.


What would you use to measure something smaller than a meter?

A centimetre or a millimetre for everyday objects. Or micrometre for things still smaller - eg thickness of a hair. Or if you are talking abount things on a very, very tiny scale, a nanometre or picometre. And that's not the end of metric prefices!


How much larger is a millimeter than a meter?
