Millimeters
The millimetre is a unit of length equal to one thousandth of a metre (10⁻³ m), derived using the SI prefix milli- (from Latin mille, thousand). It is the standard unit for precision measurements in engineering, manufacturing, and medicine, where tolerances are routinely specified to the nearest millimetre or fraction thereof. In meteorology, rainfall is universally measured in millimetres, where 1 mm of rainfall corresponds to 1 litre of water per square metre of surface area.
