The Thou (also called Mil) is essential in precision engineering and manufacturing. For context, a standard sheet of paper is about 100 thou thick, while human hair measures approximately 20-30 thou in diameter. This unit is critical in machining tolerances, PCB design, and automotive engineering where exact measurements are crucial. Astronomical scale (Moon's orbit = ~0.38 Gm). Useful for space agency data but rarely searched by the public.
To convert between Thou (Mil) (mil) and Gigameter (Gm), use the following formulas:
1 Thou (Mil) (mil) = 2.54e-14 Gigameter (Gm)
1 Gigameter (Gm) = 39370078740157.48 Thou (Mil) (mil)
1 mil = 1 * 2.54e-14 Gm = 2.54e-14 Gm
5 mil = 5 * 2.54e-14 Gm = 1.2700000000000001e-13 Gm
10 mil = 10 * 2.54e-14 Gm = 2.5400000000000003e-13 Gm
50 mil = 50 * 2.54e-14 Gm = 1.27e-12 Gm
100 mil = 100 * 2.54e-14 Gm = 2.54e-12 Gm
500 mil = 500 * 2.54e-14 Gm = 1.27e-11 Gm
1000 mil = 1000 * 2.54e-14 Gm = 2.54e-11 Gm
