Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (gnat's eye) The gnat's eye is an idiomatic "unit" of distance; it's common to hear that something is "as small as a gnat's eye". In fact, the eyes of typical gnats tend to have diameters similar in size to a hair's breadth: roughly 100-150 micrometers (0.10-0.15 millimeters). Unit Definition (pace [Roman]) A pace (or double-pace) is a measure of distance used by Ancient Rome. It is the measure of a full stride from the position of the heel when it is raised from the ground to the point he heel is set down again at the end of the step. In Rome this was standardized as about five Roman feet or 58.1 English inches.
