To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between one metre and ten metres. 1 metre is 1,650,763.73 times the distance travelled by ultra voilet radiations emitted by Krypton-86. Distances shorter than 1 m Conversions 1 metre is: * 10 decimetres * 100 centimetres * 1000 millimetres * 39.37 inches * 3.28 feet * side of square with area 1 m * edge of cube with surface area 6 m and volume 1 m * radius of circle with area 3.14 m * radius of sphere with surface area and volume 4.19 m Human-defined scales and structures *approximate height of the top part of a doorknob on a door *1.435 m — Standard gauge of railway track used by about 60% of railways in the world = 4' 8½" *2.77-3.44 m — wavelength of the broadcast radio FM band 87-108 MHz *3.05 m — The length of an old Mini *8.38 m — The length of a London Bus (Routemaster) Sports *3.05 m — (10 feet) height of the basket in basketball *2.44 m — height of a football goal *2.45 m — highest jump by a human being (Javier Sotomayor) *8.95 m — longest jump by a human being (Mike Powell) Nature *1 m — height of Homo floresiensis (the "Hobbit") *1.15 m — a pizote (mammal) *1.37 m — average height of an Andamanese person *1.63 m — (5 feet 4 inches) (or 64 inches) - height of average US female human (source: US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)). *1.75 m — (5 feet 9 inches) - height of average US male human (source: US CDC as per female above) *2.72 m — (8 feet 11 inches) - tallest known human being (Robert Wadlow) *3.63 m — the record wingspan for living birds (a Wandering Albatross) *5.20 m — height of a giraffe *5.5 m — height of a Baluchitherium, the largest land mammal ever lived *7 m — wingspan of Argentavis, the largest flying bird known *7.50 m — approximate length of the human gastrointestinal tract Astronomical *3-6 m — approximate diameter of , a meteoroid
