To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 100 m and 1 km. See also lengths of other orders of magnitude.
- Shorter distances
- 100 m is equal to:
- wavelength of the highest medium wave radio frequency, 3 MHz
- 328 feet
- side of square of area 1 hectare
- the distance a very fast human being can run in about 10 seconds
- 105 m -- length of a soccer field
- 109.73 m -- total length of a American football field (120 yards, including the end zones)
