A less dramatic but still significant depletion of. ozone levels was recorded around the globe. With less. ozone in the atmosphere, more ultraviolet (UV) radia-. tion strikes Earth, causing more skin cancer, eye dam-. age, and possible harm to crops.
There are 1.0E-6 meter in a micrometer. 1 Micrometer is equal to 1.0E-6 Meter. 1 um = 1.0E-6 m. A micrometer, or micron, is a unit of length sometimes used in SI as a 1Ã10â6 of a meter. This is a quite specific measurement unit used in science (i.e. for measuring various types of wavelength, etc.) or in industrial technology.
Wavelengths of optical light have units of nanometers (nm). One nm is equal to one billionth of a meter. Micro (abbreviated by the Greek letter mu or Âµ) is one millionth or 10-6. A micrometer, or one thousandth of a meter is sometimes called a micron. Milli (m) is one thousandth or 10-3.
