Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (step) The step is a traditional unit of distance, equal to 1/2 pace. The step is traditionally equal to 30 inches or 76.2 centimeters. However, U.S. marching bands often use a shorter step of 22.5 inches (57.15 centimeters), so that 8 steps are made every 5 yards; this works well on American football fields, which have a chalkline every 5 yards. Using this shorter step is called marching "8 by 5." Unit Definition (zettameter) The zettametre (or zettameter), symbol: Zm, is an SI metric unit of length. 1 zettametre is equal to 1e+21 metres, a very large distance. Not to be confused with a zeptometre.
