==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Picometres''' ('''pm''') are a [[unit]] of [[distance]], [[displacement]] and [[wavelength]] 1,000,000,000,000 times smaller than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Metre]].
===About Picometres===
: '''Picometres''' are shortened to '''pm''' with a lower case p and a lower case m.
: [[Pico]] means one trillionth so there are 1,000,000,000,000 [[picometres]]s in a [[Metre]].
