Unit Information

Picometre
/pē′kə-mē′tər/
Symbol: pm
Unit System: SI

What is the Picometre?

The picometre is a unit of length and is a multiple of the SI unit metre. It uses the symbol pm.

It represents one trillionth of a metre, or one hundredth of an Ångström.

Because the picometre is so small, its use is restricted almost entirely to chemistry, quantum physics and particle physics. Atoms are typically 62 pm and 520 pm.

LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) is a probe planned for launch in 2034 to detect gravitational waves in space. Its measures these displacements with an accuracy of up to 20 pm over a distance of 2,500,000,000 m.

Fathom
/ˈfað(ə)m/
Symbol: ftm
Unit System: Imperial

What is the Fathom?

The fathom is a unit of length in the imperial unit system and uses the symbol ftm.

One fathom is equal to 6 feet or 1.8288m.

The phrase fathom derives from an old English derivative of a Viking / Danish word "favn" meaning emracing a pair of arms or a pair of oustretched hands.

The fathom is mostly used in the nautical world to describe depths of water.
