I'm curious about the value of a milli. I've heard this term in different contexts, but I'm not sure what it represents exactly. Could someone please explain what a milli is and how much it amounts to?

Notably, 'milia' is the Latin plural form of 'mille', reflecting its connection to multiples of one thousand.
