nanometre <<< micrometre <<< millimetre < centimetre < decimetre < metre < decametre < hectometre < kilometre
This measure is included mostly for completeness. One of the few practical uses of the decameter is for altitude of geopotential heights (circumscribing equal pressure) in meteorology. Interestingly, meteorologists also use another seldom encountered SI prefix: hecto- in hectopascal (hPa).
- For surface the square decametre (dam2) is a common unit, be it by the name are (a). The are is a measurement of area the size of 1 decametre by 1 decametre — the square decametre — 10 metres by 10 metres, equalling 100 square metres (100 m2).
- For volumes the cubic decametre (dam3) is also used, 10 m by 10 m by 10 m equalling 1,000 cubic metres (1,000 m3).

units of measurement have played a crucial role in human endeavour from early ages up to this day. Disparate systems of measurement used to be very common. Now there is a global standard, the International System (SI) of units, the modern form of the metric system.

Length is the long dimension of any object. The length of a thing is the distance between its ends, its linear extent as measured from end to end. This may be distinguished from height, which is vertical extent, and width or breadth

The international system (SI) of units defines seven SI base units: physical units defined by an operational definition.
All other physical units can be derived from these base units: these are known as SI derived units. Derivation is by dimensional analysis.

Geopotential height is a vertical coordinate referenced to Earth's mean sea level — an adjustment to geometric height (elevation above mean sea level) using the variation of gravity with latitude and elevation. Thus it can be considered a "gravity-adjusted height.
