Convert fermi to megameter
Please provide values below to convert fermi [F, f] to megameter [Mm], or Convert megameter to fermi.
How to Convert Fermi to Megameter
1 F, f = 1e-21 Mm
Example: convert 15 F, f to Mm:
15 F, f = 15 × 1e-21 Mm = 1.5e-20 Mm
Fermi to Megameter Conversion Table
| fermi | megameter |

Fermi
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
Megameter
A megameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^6 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "mega-" for 10^6 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1873.
Current Use
The megameter is sometimes used to specify the diameters of planets and the distances of satellites.
