Diamonds are measued in carats, which is actually a term for how much a diamond weighs. Because diamonds can be cut with different proportions, such as depth and width, the weight is distributed differently per each diamond. For example, some diamonds can extremely deep, meaning that most of the weight is in the bottom of the stone. Regardless of the diamonds measurements, there is a general conversion chart that most diamonds fall under.
I'm assuming that you're referring to a round brilliant cut stone in this question, so Ill base the rest of my answer working under this assumption. In terms of the conversion chart, a 1 ct diamond is about 6.5mm wide.
I know that this information can be a bit confusing, and especially hard to understand in a short description such as this. There's a nice tutorial on diamond cut that discusses all of the information above in a detailed manner so you can better understand it. I added it to the "related links" that should show up under this posting.

How big is a 1 carat ring?
A common misconception. Carat is nothing to do with size. Carat is related to weight and therefore a 1 carat stone depends on the gemstone in question and its cut. 1 carat is 0.2g and a 1 carat round-cut diamond is approximately 6.5mm in diameter. Similarly, since CZ is a diamond simulant, a 1 carat round-cut CZ is also deemed to be one that is 6.5mm in diameter but such a stone actually weighs more than 0.2g because CZ is more dense than diamond.
