Milimetre (mm) Centimetre (cm) Metre (m) Kilometre (km)
Centimeter, inch, foot, yard, meter, hectometer, mile. This is annoying because they are not easily compared, because the meter is not in terms of feet nor is the inch in terms of centimeters etc...
The phrase "10 times smaller" is grammatically nonsensical, or more accurately, it doesn't really mean what people think it means. 10 times a centimeter is 10 centimeters, so to be 10 times smaller than 1 centimeter would be -9 centimeters 1cm - (10 x 1cm) = -9 centimeters. The more correct way to ask the question is (at least, this is what people usually mean when they say "X times smaller"), "What distance is 1/10th the size of a centimeter?" To which the answer is 1 millimeter. 1 centimeter is 1/100th of a meter (1 cent of a meter). 1 millimeter is 1/1000th of a meter.
Traditionally, least to greatest.
< equals greatest and >equals least. <greatest >least.
