Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (yottameter) The yottametre (or yottameter), symbol: Ym, is a unit of distance. One yottametre is equal to 1x10+24 (1e+24) in scientific notation. Which is a very large distance. Note this is different from a yoctometre, which is 1e-24, a very small distance. Unit Definition (hubble) The hubble is a unit of distance sometimes used in astronomy. The hubble is a gigantic unit, equal to 10E9 light years. This is 9.4605 x 10E21 kilometers (9.4605 yottameters, if you please), 5.8785 sextillion miles (U.S.), 63.240 x 10E12 astronomical units, or 306.595 megaparsecs. In practice, most astronomers use the megaparsec for measuring such stupendous distances. The unit honors the American astronomer Edwin Hubble (1889-1953), who discovered the expansion of the Universe later explained by the Big Bang theory.
