Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (millimicron) A unit of metric measurement 1000 millimeters equal one meter, 10 millimeters equal one centimeter, about 25 millimeters is one inch. Unit Definition (story) The story is an informal unit of distance equal to the average distance between floors of a building. In British English the spelling is "storey" and the plural is "storeys"; Americans write "story" and "stories." Typically a story equals 10 to 12 feet (3.0-3.6 meters). The origin of this use of the word "story" is not entirely clear, but in medieval times a tier of sculptures or stained glass windows on the front of a cathedral was called a stor(e)y because it usually told a story, and the number of stories was a measure of the size of the building.
