Length is the measure of distance in one dimension—the extent of an object from one end to the other, or the distance between two points. The SI base unit is themeter (m), defined since 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. Common derived units include the kilometer (1 km = 1,000 m) for distances and the centimeter (cm) and millimeter (mm) for everyday measurements. US customary length units include the inch (in), foot (ft), yard (yd), and mile (mi). The nautical mile (1,852 m) is used in aviation and maritime navigation.

The arshin (also spelled arshin or arshine) is a traditional unit of length historically used in Russia and several neighboring countries. One arshin is equal to 28 inches (0.7112 meters). It predates the widespread adoption of the metric system and was commonly used for measuring cloth, timber, and building materials. Learn more about length.

One arshin is equal to 0.7112 meter, 71.12 centimeters, 28 inches, and 2.33333 feet. Although no longer used in official measurements, the arshin remains important in historical documents, cultural studies, and the interpretation of traditional Russian measurements.

Zettameter (symbol: Zm) is a metric unit of length equal to one sextillion (10²¹) meters. One zettameter is exactly equal to 1 quintillion kilometers, 1 trillion gigameters, or 0.001 yottameter. The zettameter is used to express extraordinarily large distances in cosmology, astrophysics, and theoretical astronomy, where conventional units such as kilometers or astronomical units become impractical. It provides a standardized SI unit for representing distances on an intergalactic or cosmic scale.
