The femtometre (American spelling femtometer, symbol fm derived from the Danish and Norwegian word femten, "fifteen"+Ancient Greek: μέτρον, metrοn, "unit of measurement") is an SI unit of length equal to 10−15 metres, which means a quadrillionth of one. This distance can also be called a fermi and was so named in honour of physicist Enrico Fermi, as it is a typical length-scale of nuclear physics.
Terameter or teramatre is equal to 1E+12 (1012) meters (unit of length), comes from a combination of the metric prefix tera (T) and the SI unit of length meter (m). Plural name is terameters.
