To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between one metre and ten metres.
- Distances shorter than 1 m
- 1 metre is:
- 1 m — wavelength of the highest VHF radio frequency, 300 MHz
- 1.1 – 1.2 m — a pizote (mammal)
- 1.435m — Standard gauge of railway track used by about 60% of railways in the world = 4' 8½" .
- 1.626 m — (5 feet 4 inches) (or 64 inches) — height of average US female human in 2002 (source: US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)).
- 1.70 m — (5 feet 7 inches) — one smoot
- 1.765 m — (5 feet 9.5 inches) — height of average US male human in 2002 (source: US CDC as per female above).
- 1.876 m — (nearly 6 feet 2 inches) — 95 [percentile] height of US human males in 2002.
- 2.77 – 3.44 m — wavelength of the broadcast radio FM band 108 - 87 MHz
- 3.048 m — (10 feet) height of the basket in basketball
- 3.054 m — The length of an old Mini
- 3.63 m — the record wingspan for living birds (a Wandering Albatross).
- 3.66 m — The length of a new Mini
- 4.80 – 5.50 m — height of a giraffe
- 7.5m — approximate length of the human gastrointestinal tract.
