	Metric [[prefixes]] make longer [[units]] like '''kilometer''', km (1000 m) and '''megameter''', Mm (10<sup>6</sup> m) and smaller units as well like '''millimeter''', mm (0.001 m) and the μm (10<sup>-6</sup> m). The μm is called both the '''micrometer''' and the '''micron'''. The word micrometer is ambiguous since it's also a device that measures very precise lengths, hence the two terms.
