10 centimeters (cm) is about the length of:
- A standard pencil (roughly)
- The width of an average adult’s palm
- About 4 inches (since 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 10 cm ≈ 3.94 inches)
If you want a quick visual, imagine the length of a typical smartphone’s shorter side or the width of a credit card, which is close to 8.5 cm, so 10 cm is just a bit longer than that.
