A megametre (American spelling: megameter, symbol Mm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one million metres, the current SI base unit of length, hence to 1,000 km or customary equivalent to 621.37 miles.
Megametres (from the Greek words megas = big and metro = count/measure) are rarely seen in practical use, because they are too big for most terrestrial tasks.
Megametres are also occasionally found in science fiction.

The Earth's rotation and the subtle competing effects of salinity and temperature lead to counter-intuitive dynamical behaviour.
Turbulent motions at scales as small as a few millimetres can influence circulation at the megametre scale of ocean basins, with consequences for climate, resource utilisation, and the protection of the marine environment.
Our two main areas of interest are oceanic processes and the behaviour of regional seas, with our investigations ranging from field work in local waters, to analysis of data from elsewhere in the world, to theoretical studies.
