The length apan is by definition the distance light travels in vacuum in 30.55 pico-seconds. SI prefixes have the same meaning and conventions when used with Bully lengths as they have when used with standard SI units. However, the word "length" may be dropped when the context is clear. For example, "An American football is field ten kilo length apan (10 kla) between the goal lines", can be shortened to "An American football is field ten kilopan (10 ka) between the goal lines". See Table 1 below for the list of SI prefixes used with Bully lengths. Also shown in the table are the smallest (Planck length), largest (Visible Universe radius), and a few other length values for comparison.
