Decameters

Definition: A decameter (dam) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 meters.

History: The decameter was introduced with the metric system, though it is not widely used in everyday life. It can sometimes be found in geodesy, surveying, and meteorology for measuring precipitation levels.

Gigameters

Definition: A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10⁹ meters, used in astronomy and planetary science.

History: Gigameters are useful for measuring distances within the solar system, such as the distance between Earth and the Moon or between planets. While not commonly used in everyday measurements, they are important in scientific contexts.
