What does millimeter per square second measure?

It measures acceleration as the change in velocity by one millimeter per second every second, commonly used for low-magnitude accelerations.

When should I use picometer per square second?

It is used for extremely small accelerations at atomic and nanoscale levels, such as in molecular dynamics and high-resolution microscopy.

Why is there a large conversion factor between these units?

Because picometer per square second represents acceleration at a scale one billion times smaller than millimeter per square second.
