Pico- (symbol p) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting one trillionth, a factor of 10−12 (0.000000000001).


Derived from the Spanish pico, meaning peak, beak, bit,[1] this was one of the original 12 prefixes defined in 1960 when the International System of Units was established.[2]


The radius of atoms range from 25 picometers (hydrogen) to 260 picometers (caesium). One picolight-year is about nine kilometers (six miles).
