What is the League?

The league is a ancient unit of length that doesn't below to a unit system. Its symbol is simply - league.

It was originally an ancient Celtic unit as well as being common in Latin America and meant the distance "a person could walk in an hour". It is no longer a recognised unit in any nation.

Once it started to be quantified, in Argentina (legua) it represented 5.572 km, in England it was quantified as 3 miles and at sea a league is 3 nautical miles (3.452 miles).

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.
