There are lots of units that are used. Typically, nanometres are used for optical wavelengths,micrometres for precision engineering, small cells,

millimetres and centimetres in daily use for small lengths,

metres for objects that are larger - roughly bigger than the height of an adult,

kilometres for distances within town and between towns,

astronomical units, light years or parsecs for interstellar (and inter galactic) distances.


In most cases there are equivalent units in the near-obsolete Imperial system.
