micrometer to meter
Please provide values below to convert micrometer [µm] to meter [m], or change ↔.
micrometer [µm]
Definition: A micrometer is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
Historyandorigin: It is part of the metric system, introduced in the late 18th century.
CurrentUse: It is used in high-precision measurements, such as in microelectronics.
funfact: The prefix 'micro-' comes from the Greek word 'mikros,' meaning 'small.'
meter [m]
Definition: The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Historyandorigin: The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a meridian. It was redefined several times, most recently in 1983 using the speed of light.
CurrentUse: The meter is widely used in scientific and everyday contexts around the world.
funfact: The word 'meter' comes from the Greek word 'metron,' meaning 'measure.'

How to Convert micrometer to meter
1 micrometer [µm] = 0.000001 meter [m]
1 meter [m] = 1000000 micrometer [µm]
we use cross multiplication method
micrometer [µm] → meter [m]
1 → 0.000001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.000001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0000015
