The now obsolete term micron (now replaced by µm) would seem to have a
different definition in Poland. (Either that, or the creator of the
presentation has his/her own definition.)

The average person living in any of the traditionally metric courtiers is
blissfully ignorant of the measuring system. (I know, I was - when I lived
there.) The attached distance-scaling video is understandable in any
language but only SI experts will notice the discrepancies between the
powers of 10 and the notations underneath.
