About these units

Centimeter (cm)

Definition
A centimeter (cm) is one hundredth of a meter, a convenient metric unit for everyday measurements like height and paper sizes.
History
It dates from the original metric system and uses the SI prefix "centi-" (one hundredth).
Current use
Centimeters are used for body measurements, rainfall, screen and print dimensions, and school maths across the metric world.

Nanometer (nm)

Definition
A nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter, the scale of atoms, molecules, and wavelengths of light.
History
It combines the SI prefix "nano-" (one billionth) with the meter and became common with the rise of nanotechnology.
Current use
Nanometers measure the wavelengths of visible light (about 380–750 nm) and the feature sizes of modern microchips.
