Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (tenthmeter) The metre, symbol: m, is the basic unit of distance (or of "length", in the parlance of the physical sciences) in the International System of Units. The internationally-accepted spelling of the unit in English is "metre", although the American English spelling meter is a common variant. However, both American and non-American forms of English agree that the spelling "meter" should be used as a suffix in the names of measuring devices such as chronometers and micrometers. Unit Definition (gigaparsec) The Gigaparsec is a non-metric unit of distance equal to one billion parsecs, 3.2616 billion light years, or 30.856 78 zettameters (30.856 78 x 1021 kilometers). The unit is used in astronomy.
