Any distance units you wish, as long as it gives nice numbers generally between 1 and 100. Here are a few you can choose from:
- Meters,
#"m"# ; just look at your average meter stick. - Feet,
#"ft"# , everyday use in American life. Look at any ruler. - Centimeters,
#"cm"# , such as on many rulers.
We can also get fancy, and go into chemical measurements:
- Angstroms,
#Å# , mainly for atomic radii.#10^(-10)# #"m"# . - Picometers,
#"pm"# , sometimes used for atomic radii.#10^(-12)# #"m"# .
