Centimeters

Definition: A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), defined as 1/100 meters.

History: The centimeter is derived from the SI unit meter, with the prefix "centi-" indicating one hundredth of a meter. It was introduced with the metric system during the French Revolution to create a decimal-based system for easier conversions.

Micrometers

Definition: A micrometer (µm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one-millionth of a meter (1/1,000,000 m).

History: The micrometer, also known as a micron, was first introduced in the metric system to measure extremely small distances. It is widely used in fields such as physics, engineering, and biology to measure microscopic objects.
