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 in a Metre.
