Millipedes are a combination of two Latin terms that form the word thousand foot. These arthropods usually contain over a hundred legs but can feature just 40 or 50 legs.

Here are some 'milli' words: Millipede Million Milligram Millimeter Millibar Millisecond Milliliters
a thousandth The metric prefix "milli" means one-thousandth. So 1000 millimeters is equal to 1 meter. 1 millimeter is equal to 1/1000 of a meter. It can also refer to 1000, usually when applied to arthropods: a millipede is so named because it appears to have a thousand legs (although in reality the number is far lower)
The same reason why a centimeter is greater than a millimeter.milli: one-thousandth (1/1000)centi: one-hundredth (1/100)kilo: one thousand (1,000)mega: one million (1,000,000)giga: one billion (1,000,000,000)A centipede has less legs than a millipede because for every 1 leg a centipede has, the millipede has 10! This is based on the math above^^. Now, if you compare ONE CENTILITER to ONE MILLILITER, the centiliter would be greater because:1 centiliter = 10 milliliters
Do you mean ''What does the AUM Mantra mean?''
No, but sometimes "average" means "mean" - when it doesn't mean median, geometric mean, or something else entirely.
I lost count on the millipede's legs! That millipede should not be blue.

A millipede is a small invertebrate belonging to the Phylum Arthropoda.Unlike its name seems to suggest, the millipede does not have one million legs.I tried counting the legs on a millipede, but it wouldn't stay still long enough. My cat was fascinated as it sat in the garden watching a millipede. The millipede tickled as it crawled over my foot.

millipede
No. A millipede is a myriapod, which is a kind of arthropod.
Since millipede is a noun, the only opposite for millipede is "not millipede". Since a millipede has a maximum number of "legs" an antonym might be "snake" with no legs.
No the Millipede Feeds On Small Insects (carnavorous)
Millipedes have many legs (up to 400) because each body segment has pairs of legs. This allows them to move efficiently and navigate their environment. The numerous legs also help distribute their weight and move smoothly over different terrains.
