It is a small unit of measurement compared to the centimeter, meter, inches, and feet we are familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here\u2019s a fun example to understand why small units are important. Do you know the story of Gulliver? Gulliver, a sea captain and a surgeon, ends up on the island of Lilliput, where people are only about 6 inches in height. Everything in the town is so small, he has to document everything in smaller units like inches and millimeters (mm). Can you imagine measuring tiny things using units like yards or miles? So, small units of measurement are important! So, what is <strong>mm<\/strong> in measurements? Let&#8217;s learn more about the unit \u2018millimeter\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"416\"

\u201cMilli\u201d comes from the Latin word \u201cmille,\u201d meaning one-thousandth. Therefore, a millimeter is one-thousandth of a meter. The symbol of a millimeter is \u201cmm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In case you are wondering how to measure length in millimeters or how a length of a millimeter or 1 mm looks like, let\u2019s check it out on a ruler.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/one-millimeter-on-a-ruler.png\" alt=\"One millimeter on a ruler\" class=\"wp-image-40326\" title=\"One millimeter on a ruler\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/one-millimeter-on-a-ruler.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/one-millimeter-on-a-ruler-300x187.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Understand that 1 meter $= 100$ cm and 1 cm $= 10$ mm.
