Best Answer

Units of measurement can be as big or as small as needed.

In the metric system there are metres and kilometres but also decimetres and centimetres and millimetres. (or meters)

Micrometres, = 1 x 10-6 or a millionth of a metre ( or a thousandth of a millimetre)

Nanometres = 1 x 10-9m or a thousand millionth

Picometres = 1 x 10-12m or about 31 pm is the width of a helium atom (a million millionths)

It continues with a femto-, atto-, zepto-, yocto-

What could be that small?
