Table 1 shows that 1 centimeter (cm) is equal to 0.01 meters (m). 1 nanometer (nm) is equal to 10-9 m (0.000000001 m,) and 1 Megasecond (Ms) is equal to 106 m (1,000,000 s). While the gram (g) is the base unit for mass, astronomy and physics often uses the kilogram (1 kg = 1000 g) as the starting unit for mass. ................
