1 micron = 10^(-6) metres.
1 millimetre = 10^(-3) metres = 10^3 x 10^(-6) metres = 10^3 microns = 1000 microns.
Thus 0.1 millimetres = 0.1 x 1000 microns = 100 microns.

Can a millimeter be as wide as hair?
One millimeter is MUCH wider than a human hair. About 20 human hairs equals 1 millimeter.
240 meters is equal to how many microns?
One micron is one millionth of a meter, or 1/8th the width of a human hair. The measurement is used to determine particles in an air stream. Therefore 140 microns would be 140 millionths of a meter. For more details, Google ''Define: Micron''
Can you show me or tell me an item that is 1 micron?
Whatever it is, if it measures 1,000th of a millimeter wide, it is 1 micron wide. Examples of some small measurements: A typical human hair is 100 microns wide (a 1/10th of a millimeter). A red blood cell is 7 microns wide (less than 1/100th of a millimeter). Here's a neat interactive video of small things for you: http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm A staphylococcus bacteria in the video looks to be just under 1 micron wide. Most viruses are much, much smaller still!
What is the size of hair (width) in millimeters?
Human hair varies in size greatly. A child's head hair can be as fine as 0.05mm. An adult's head hair can be as course as 0.25mm. Adult eye- brow hair can be as thick as 0.3mm. Hair is circular in shape, not flat like grass. Things which are circular or round in shape, do not have 'thickness', they have 'diameter'.The sizes above express the Diameter of Hair. In the Imperial system of measure, human hair varies between 0.002 inch & 0.010 inch Diameter.
Where does the root hair cell work on the body?
It Doesn't As: X=2.5cm which is 2000 times the length of the width of on and that is too small for the human.
Is a millimeter as wide as a hair?
This is estimated to be 100 microns. There are 1000 microns in a millimetre. So in millimetres, a human hair is approx 0.1 millimetres in width.
What is the smallest particle size in microns that can be seen with the naked human eye?
100 Micron100 Micron's = 0.1 millimeter, about the width of a human hair.
What is the size of a human hair?
the diameter of human hair varies from about 40 microns to 120 microns. a micron or micrometer is a millionth of a meter. Copy paper thickness is about 100 microns (or 0.1 millimeter).
How would you measure width of hair?
For the diameter of hair the best unit is micrometre.
How big is a strand of human hair?
The length of a strand of human hair can vary greatly depending on the person. However, the width of a human hair, in terms of how big it is, can measure anywhere from 40 microns to 120 microns. A micron is 1 millionth of a meter.
How big are diatoms?

What is the width of your hair?
While I was working in a cleanroom, I was always told that it was 50 microns (1/20 of a millimeter). However, I've heard numbers ranging from 20 µm to 100 µm.
What metric measurement is a width of a hair?
a millimeter
What is the width of human hair in word notation when 0.0018 cm is in standard notation?
Eighteen thousandths of a millimeter. 0.0018 cm = 0.018 mm = 18 µm (micrometer) Human hair width actually ranges from 17 to 181 µm. 181 µm is almost .2 mm so you could say "about a fifth of a millimeter for coarse hair"
Can a millimeter be as wide as hair?
One millimeter is MUCH wider than a human hair. About 20 human hairs equals 1 millimeter.
