There are a lot of ways you can use the internet to convert one unit of measure to another, including Google. Here is a site with a unique approach. For example, in addition to telling you that 1 gigabit is equal to 1000 megabits, it tells you that 1 gigabit is equivalent to the contents of 25 Bibles. That is a lot easier for me to comprehend. Or, do you have trouble visualizing the size of an acre? SensibleUnits gives you the usually conversion in units like square feet or square yards, but how about thinking of an acre as 11 IMAX screens. This could be a good site for parents and teachers to help young children better understand units of measure. Take a few minutes and give it a try.
