1 um is equal to 1 micrometer, which is a unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to one millionth of a meter, or 0.000001 meters. Micrometers are commonly used to measure very small distances, such as the size of cells or microscopic organisms.

um is the same as µm, short for "micrometer". The Greek letter mu (µ) is sometimes written as "u", due to the difficulties of finding the µ on the keyboard - simply because the letters look somewhat similar.The prefix "micro" means 1/1,000,000.
