Within our present understanding of our Universe, distance separations smaller than the Planck Length have no meaning. At these distances, the fabric of space itself begins to "tear," in the same way that a flat piece of paper would tear if you tried to fold it in half fifty times.
It must be added that all discussions of what "really" happens at the Planck Length are purely theoretical. Nobody has even conceived of a way to experimentally measure the effects of distances that small. It may turn out that we simply need better mathematics to understand the "reality."

What is the smallest measurement for length?
The smallest unit of length is a Planck Length. This is the equivalent of a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter. This is too small for the human eye to see without assistance like a microscope.
What is the smallest unit of length in the standard system?
the smallest form of measurement is a nanometer
What is the range of measurement that can be taken from the smallest possible length to the largest possible distance?
Since the largest possible distance is infinate the range of measurements is infinate. If you mean what is the largest defined unit of measure it's the gigaparsec, and the smallest is Planck Length The range of measurements of length that HAVE BEEN made is roughly 10-19 meter to 14 billion light years ... a ratio of about 1.32 x 1045 . That's a wide range.
Is anything smaller than a planck length?
a pico second
Units represents the shortest unit of length?
The shortest unit of length is the Planck length, denoted ℓP, equal to 1.616252×10−35 meters.
What is below to planck length?
Many arxiv papers state that the Planck length is the smallest argue convincingly that lengths below the Planck length cannot be measured.
What fraction of a meter is the smallest measurement?
The smallest measurement of length with any meaning is the Planck length and this is equal to approx 1.6*10^-35 metres.
What is the smallest measurement for length?
The smallest unit of length is a Planck Length. This is the equivalent of a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter. This is too small for the human eye to see without assistance like a microscope.
What is planck lenghth?
It is the smallest length scientists have discovered. Anything smaller makes "no physical sense"
The smallest unit to measure length is?
The smallest unit is the Planck Length. Theoretically, it is not that there can be nothing smaller, but for various reasons that have nothing to do with the limits of technology there is nothing that can be known about anything that happens to be smaller. For scale, the number of Planck Lengths in the diameter of a proton is 10 to the twentieth power.
What is the smallest unit of length in the standard system?
the smallest form of measurement is a nanometer

How fast is Planck time?
Planck length and Planck time Planck time is the time it would take a photon moving at the speed of light in a vacuum to cross a distance equal to the Planck length. The Planck length is 1.616252 × 10−35 meters, and the Planck time is 5.39121 × 10−44 seconds. Links are provided to the relevant Wikipedia articles.
What is the planck distance?
The Planck distance, or Planck length, is 1.6 x 10^-35 meters.
How many Planck lengths are there in a millimeter?
In physics, the Planck length, denoted ℓP, is a unit of length, equal to 1.616199(97)×10−35 meters.
What size is planck length?
Planck length has been said to be one decillionth of an inch. A decillion has 33 zeros behind it and 34 digits total.
Is it possible to draw a segment of length 2?
Generally speaking, yes. But, if you want to be pedantic about it, the answer must be NO. You cannot see accurately enough. Are you eyes good enough to go down to a micrometre? A nanometre? The width of an atom? The Planck length? NO. You cannot design an instrument that can be accurate below Planck's length. So, in the final analysis, you can't.
