We can measure the length of anything using units of length, which can be non-standard or standard units like millimetres, centimetres, metres, and kilometres. Standard units allow us to compare lengths, with 10 millimetres equal to 1 centimetre, 100 centimetres equal to 1 metre, and 1000 metres equal to 1 kilometre.
