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 siriometer (symbol: Sm) is a non-SI unit of length historically used in astronomy to express extremely large distances. One siriometer is equal to one million astronomical units (AU), or approximately 1.495978707 × 10¹⁷ meters. Although it has largely been replaced by the light-year and parsec, the siriometer played an important role in early astronomical literature. More information is available in the siriometer article.

One siriometer is equal to 1,000,000 astronomical units, approximately 15.8125 light-years, approximately 4.84814 parsecs, 149,597,870,700,000 kilometers, and 149,597,870,700,000,000 meters. The siriometer is now considered an obsolete astronomical unit but remains of historical interest in older scientific publications.

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 Although no longer used in official measurements, the arshin remains important in historical documents, cultural studies, and the interpretation of traditional Russian measurements.
