Orders of magnitude (length) (10 m or 1.1 billion light-years). At this scale, expansion of the universe becomes significant. Distance of these objects are derived from their measured redshifts, which depends on the cosmological models used. To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists distances starting at 100 Ym (10 m or 11 billion light years). At this scale, expansion of the universe becomes significant. Distance of these objects are derived from their measured redshifts, which depend on the cosmological models used. Distances longer than 100 Ym Orders of magnitude (length) The following are examples of orders of magnitude for different lengths.
