What is a centimeter?

A centimeter is a metric unit of length equal to one hundredth of a meter, commonly used for everyday and scientific measurements of small to moderate lengths.

What does an exameter measure?

An exameter is an SI unit of length equal to one quintillion meters, used to express extremely large distances typically found in astrophysics and cosmology.

Why convert from centimeters to exameters?

The conversion is helpful to express very small measurements in a scale suitable for astronomical distances, mainly for theoretical or comparative scientific analysis.
