No. A fluid ounce is a measure of volume, related to liquids and fluids. An ounce is a unit of weight or mass. A glass of water can have both - the glass and water together have a particular weight or mass but the water inside the glass has volume and is measured in fluid ounces.

What is larger one millimeter or one fluid ounce?

Neither the milliliter nor the fluid ounce is a unit of length so the question does not actually make sense.If the question is which is larger, the fluid ounce is much larger.There are 1000 milliliters in one liter.One liter is close to the same volume as a quart.Therefore, there are approximately 1000/32 milliliters in a fluid ounce. So one fluid ounce is approximately 30 milliliters.To be more precise, a quart is approximately 0.9463 liters so a fluid ounce is 29.57 milliliters to a precision of four digits.
