Basic Conversion Factors

This document provides conversion factors for various units of length, area, volume, mass, force, energy, temperature, and other physical quantities. It lists common prefixes and their corresponding powers of 10, and defines units like miles, feet, gallons, pounds, joules, degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit, and others in terms of more fundamental units. The document was prepared by Engineer ARASG as a reference for basic conversion factors across different unit systems.
