1 light minute = 17 987 547 480 metres
1 light second = 299 792 458 metres
1 marathon = 42 194.988 metres
1 meter = 1 metres
1 metre = 1 metres
1 metric mile = 1 500 metres
1 microinch = 2.54e-8 metres
1 micrometer = 0.000 001 metres
1 micromicron = 1.0e-12 metres
1 micron = 0.000 001 metres
1 mil = 0.000 025 4 metres

1 yottameter = 1.0e+24 metres
1 zeptometer = 1.0e-21 metres
1 zettameter = 1.0e+21 metres
The calculator will try to interpret whatever you type in and identify when you want to perform a calculation no matter how you phrase it. However, if you are having problems being understood, the standard way of performing a conversion is shown by these examples:
