Understanding Atto-Units in Scientific Notation

The prefix "atto-" is derived from the Greek word "atto", which means "down to" or "from". In scientific notation, "atto-" is used to indicate a unit of measurement that is equal to one billionth (10^-18) of the base unit. For example, an attometer (atm) is a unit of length equal to 10^-18 meters. Similarly, an attowatt (W) is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts.
