What is a Millimeter?
The millimeter (mm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a meter or 0.1 centimeters. It is a derived unit of the International System of Units (SI) and is commonly used to measure very short lengths, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts.
History and Origin of the Millimeter
The millimeter has its roots in the establishment of the metric system. As a decimal multiple of the meter, its definition has evolved along with changes to the meter's definition over time.
Current Use of the Millimeter
The millimeter is used in scientific, engineering, and technical fields to measure very short lengths. It is suitable for scenarios requiring extremely precise measurements, such as in mechanical manufacturing and precision instrument manufacturing.
