The smallest unit to measure length is?
The smallest unit is the Planck Length. Theoretically, it is not that there can be nothing smaller, but for various reasons that have nothing to do with the limits of technology there is nothing that can be known about anything that happens to be smaller. For scale, the number of Planck Lengths in the diameter of a proton is 10 to the twentieth power.
How fast is Planck time?
Planck length and Planck time Planck time is the time it would take a photon moving at the speed of light in a vacuum to cross a distance equal to the Planck length. The Planck length is 1.616252 × 10−35 meters, and the Planck time is 5.39121 × 10−44 seconds. Links are provided to the relevant Wikipedia articles.
Is it possible to draw a segment of length 2?
Generally speaking, yes. But, if you want to be pedantic about it, the answer must be NO. You cannot see accurately enough. Are you eyes good enough to go down to a micrometre? A nanometre? The width of an atom? The Planck length? NO. You cannot design an instrument that can be accurate below Planck's length. So, in the final analysis, you can't.
What is the name of a rectangle that has width of 9 and length of 5?
It has no specific name. It is unusual, though, because its length is smaller than its width!
How does the length of a pendulum affect the frequency?
A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.
Is anything smaller than a planck length?
a pico second
Have you seen anything smaller than a yocto meter?
I saw a planck length once. But I don't like to boast about it.
How big is a plank length?
Planck lenght is equal to 1.616252×10−35 meters. 1020 times smaller than the diameter of a proton.
What is planck lenghth?
It is the smallest length scientists have discovered. Anything smaller makes "no physical sense"

What is below to planck length?
Many arxiv papers state that the Planck length is the smallest argue convincingly that lengths below the Planck length cannot be measured.
What is a smaller unit than a plank?
The "Planck units" are generally the smallest units used - except for the Planck unit for mass, which is fairly large.

What is the planck distance?
The Planck distance, or Planck length, is 1.6 x 10^-35 meters.
What is the shortest thing on earth?
An atom. __________ Not an atom; not by a long shot. If units of length count, then the winner would be the Planck Length, defined at 1.616252 X (10 to the power -35) meters, smaller than any known elementary particle.
Why is the Planck Length the smallest possible length?
Within our present understanding of our Universe, distance separations smaller than the Planck Length have no meaning. At these distances, the fabric of space itself begins to "tear," in the same way that a flat piece of paper would tear if you tried to fold it in half fifty times. It must be added that all discussions of what "really" happens at the Planck Length are purely theoretical. Nobody has even conceived of a way to experimentally measure the effects of distances that small. It may turn out that we simply need better mathematics to understand the "reality."
How many Planck lengths are there in a millimeter?
In physics, the Planck length, denoted ℓP, is a unit of length, equal to 1.616199(97)×10−35 meters.
