It depends on the distance length; for example:

  • long distances (as between cities); using kilometers
  • moderate distances (as buildings and rooms); using meters
  • small distances (as clothing); using centimeters
  • very small distances (as small pipes); using millimeters
  • extremely small distances (as for atoms and nuclii); using Angestrom and Fermi units (order of 10-10 or smaller)
