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.
Millimeter (mm)---- is the smallest. Centimeter (cm ) Meter (m) Kilometer (km) ---- is the largest There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter. There are 100 centimeters is a meter. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer. THEREFORE there are 1000 millimeters in a meter.

1 meter = 100 centimeters = 1000 millimiter1 centimeter = 10 millimeterfrom greatest to least:1 meter , 1 centimeter, 1 millimeter
From shortest to longest, these are arranged:centimetre (1 centimetre)inch (2.54 centimetres)foot (30.48 centimetres)yard (91.44 centimetres)metre (100 centimetres)hectometre (10000 centimetres)kilometre (100000 centimetres)mile (160934.4 centimetres)
From smallest to biggest: Kilometer, hectometer, dekameter, meter, decimeter, centimeter, millimeter.
The correct order from least to greatest is inch, centimeter, yard, kilometer, and mile. An inch is the smallest unit of measurement, followed by the centimeter, which is approximately 2.54 times larger than an inch. The yard is larger than both the inch and centimeter, followed by the kilometer, which is equivalent to 1000 meters. The mile is the largest unit in this sequence, with one mile being approximately 1.609 kilometers.
The prefix kilo- means one thousand: 1000 The prefix milli- means one thousandth: 1/1000 = 0.001 1000 > 0.001 → kilo- > milli- → kilometer is greater than millimeter.
6 kilometers is the greatest.But arranging from greatest to least:6km, 60m, 600 cm or 6000mm60 meters = 60 meters * 1km/1000 meters = 0.06 km600 centimeters = 600 cm * 1m/100cm * 1km/1000m = 0.006 km6000 millimeters = 6000mm * 1m/1000mm * 1km/1000m = 0.006kmthus arranging from greatest to least:6km, 60m, 600 cm or 6000mm
Least to greatest: mm, cm, dm, m
