Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size). So only the digits to the left of the decimal point contribute to the magnitude. Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size).

It moves from left to right.
Left or right.
to the left (number gets smaller)
The decimal point moves to the left.
There are 10 millimetres in one centimetre. Therefore, to convert a value, such as 7.63 centimetres, to metres, you multiply by 10 to get 76.3 millimetres - thus moving the decimal point to the right.
To the left.
right
You move the decimal point 2 places to the right when converting meters to centimeters. This is because there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

The number to the left of a decimal point is the integer part or the whole-number part. The part of a decimal to the right of the decimal point is the fractional part. The decimal point is called the decimal separator.

When going from smaller to larger units, there will be fewer of them. That indicates division, which will make it appear as if the decimal point is going to the left.
It moves from left to right.

You write it as 0.004 because to the left of the decimal point is ones, to the first zero to the right of the decimal point is tenths, to the second zero to the right of the decimal point is hundredths, and so on.
