Most of the world uses the metric system. The only countries not on this system are the U.S., Myanmar, and Liberia.

The metric system is based on 10s. For example, 10 decimeters make a meter (39.37 inches).

Units smaller than a meter have Latin prefixes:

Deci- means 10; 10 decimeters make a meter.
Centi- means 100; 100 centimeters make a meter.
Milli- means 1,000; 1,000 millimeters make a meter.

Units larger than a meter have Greek prefixes:

Deka- means 10; a dekameter is 10 meters.
Hecto- means 100; a hectometer is 100 meters.
Kilo- means 1,000; a kilometer is 1,000 meters.

If we are talking about lengths, here, then "m" (meters) would be bigger than "mm" (millimeters). There are 1,000 millimeters in one meter. I hope I answered your question.

The metric system is a system of measurement based on the powers of 10 . First adopted in France in 1791 , the metric system has become widely used in many countries of the world, and is the main system used in science.

The basic metric unit of length is the meter , equal to about 3.28 feet. Some smaller and larger units are named as follows:

nanometer(nm)	1 1 , 000 , 000 , 000 of a meter
micrometer(um)	1 1 , 000 , 000 of a meter
millimeter(mm)	1 1000 of a meter
centimeter(cm)	1 100 of a meter
decimeter(dm)	1 10 of a meter
meter(m)	1 meter
dekameter(dam)	10 meters
hectometer(hm)	100 meters
kilometer(km)	1000 meters
Megameter(Mm)	1,000,000 meters
Gigameter(Gm)	1,000,000,000 meters
Terameter(Tm)	1,000,000,000,000 meters

The same prefixes are used for other units. For example, 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams (a unit of mass), and 1 centiliter is equal to 1 100 of a liter (a unit of volume).

Other metric units include the newton (a unit of force), the pascal (a unit of pressure), the watt (a unit of power), the joule (a unit of energy), and the ampere (a unit of electric current).

Which is smaller mm or M?

The millimetre (international spelling; SI unit symbol mm) or millimeter (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousandth of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length. Therefore, there are one thousand millimetres in a metre.

Is M the same as mm?

The meter and millimeter are used in the International System of Units, called the SI units. The notations to represent the meter and millimeter are “m” and “mm”, respectively. The relation between meter and millimeter is a constant value and it is defined as “One meter is equal to 1000 millimeters”.

What is bigger than a mm?

2. Millimeter A millimeter is 10 times smaller than a centimeter. The distance between the smaller lines (without numbers) is 1 millimeter. 1 centimeter = 10 mm.
