The angstrom (or ångström) is a unit of length and is a non-SI but metric accepted unit with the symbol Å.
It is equal in length to one ten-billionth of a metre or 0.1 nanometres (0.1nm).
It is approximately the size of an atom and is mostly used to measure very small distances for example wavelengths of light.
The fermis is a unit of length in the non-SI metric system and uses the symbol fm.
One fermi is equal to 1×10−15m or 3.9370×10−14 in.
It is used to measure nuclear distances and was named after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi (1901–1954). It has now been replaced with the SI-derived term femtometre.
