A square millimeter (often abbreviated as mm²) is a unit of area in the International System of Units (SI). It represents a square with sides that each measure 1 millimeter (mm) in length.

One square millimeter is equal to 0.000001 square meters (m²) because there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter, and when you square that length, you get 0.001 square meters. Alternatively, you can express it as 1 square meter being equal to 1,000,000 square millimeters.

To visualize the size of a square millimeter, you can think of an extremely small square with sides that are each 1 millimeter long. It is a minuscule unit of area and is often used for measuring very tiny objects or areas, especially in scientific and engineering applications where precision is crucial.
