	Krypton (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In its first appearance, Krypton was only depicted at the moment of its destruction, the nature of life on Krypton being unaddressed and frankly irrelevant to Superman's adventures on contemporary Earth; the plain fact of his extraterrestrial origin was considered sufficient enough to explain his superpowered status.
		Soon, beginning in the Superman comic strip, Krypton was shown to have been an evolved version of Earth, older by eons and possessed of all the beneficial progress that implied (though the downside was the hint that Krypton exploded due mainly to old age).
		The Silver Age Superman was not alone in the survival of Krypton's destruction, being joined by his cousin Supergirl, the Phantom Zone criminals, Beppo the super-monkey, Krypto the superdog, a juvenile delinquent named Dev-Em and the entire population of the city of Kandor.

		Krypton had a massive uranium core (S No.53/1) and was occasionally swept by windstorms so violent that the planet's tallest skyscrapers had to be lowered into the ground to prevent their being toppled by the powerful gales (S No.123, Aug 1958: "The Girl of Steel"; and others).
		The capital of Krypton was the city of Kandor.
		Several years before Krypton exploded, however, Kandor was reduced to microscopic size and stolen by the space villain Brainiac, and a new world capital was established in the city of Kryptonopolis, the city which would later become Superman's birthplace.

		The international definition of the length of the meter was, from 1960 to 1983, based on the light emitted by excited krypton atoms as a standard: specifically, the meter was defined as 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of the orange-red emission line emitted by krypton-86 atoms.
		This agreement replaced the longstanding standard meter located in Paris which was a metal bar made of a platinum-iridium alloy (the bar was originally estimated to be one ten millionth of a quadrant of the earth's polar circumference).
		In October 1983 the krypton standard was in turn replaced by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.
