To help compare different [[orders of magnitude]] this page lists lengths between 100 [[metre|m]] and 1 [[kilometre|km]].

#REDIRECT [[metre]]

'''[[1 E1 m|Distances shorter than 100 m]]'''

====Conversions====

100 m is equal to:

* 328 [[foot (unit of length)|feet]]

* one side of a [[1 E4 m²|1 hectare]] square

* a fifth of a modern [[li]], a [[China|Chinese]] unit of measurement

====Wavelengths====

* 100 m — [[wavelength]] of the highest [[Mediumwave]] radio frequency, [[1 E6 Hz|3 MHz]]

* 187 m — shortest wavelength of the broadcast [[radio]] AM band, [[1 E6 Hz|1600 kHz]]

* 555 m — longest wavelength of the broadcast [[radio]] AM band, [[1 E5 Hz|540 kHz]]

* 1000 m — wavelength of the lowest [[medium wave]] radio frequency, [[1 E5 Hz|300 kHz]]

====Sports====

* 100 m — the distance a [[World Record progression 100 m men|very fast human being]] can run in about 10 seconds

* 100 m — length of a [[Canadian football]] field

* 105 m — length of a [[soccer]] field

====Human-built structures====

* 130 m — height of the world's tallest [[roller coaster]], the [[Kingda Ka]]

* 137 m — height of the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]]

* 193 m — length of [[New Jersey State Highway 59]] (approximate)

* 244 m — height of the [[City Gate]] building in [[Ramat-Gan]], [[Israel]]

* 300 m — height of the [[Eiffel Tower]]

* 328 m — height of [[Auckland]]'s [[Sky Tower]], the tallest free-standing structure in the [[Southern Hemisphere]]

* 341 m — height of the world's tallest bridge, the [[Millau Viaduct]]

* 390 m — height of the [[Empire State Building]]

* 443 m — height of the [[Sears Tower]], the tallest [[skyscraper]] in the [[United States]]

* 508 m — height of the [[Taipei 101]] building, the tallest [[skyscraper]] in the world

* 553 m — height of the [[CN Tower]], the tallest tower and freestanding structure in the world

====Nature====

* 112 m — height of the world's tallest [[tree]], a [[Coast redwood]]

* 310 m — maximum depth of [[Lake Geneva]]

* 340 m — distance [[sound]] travels in air at sea level in one second; see [[speed of sound]]
