Pretty close. If they added an additional zero to make 1.0000 meters they would be the same number of significant figures technically. But it's all convention.

> 120.0000 consists of six significant figures (1, 2, and the four subsequent zeroes) except for the last zero If the resolution is to 0.001.
- tomjakubowski 4y ago1.000 has 4 significant figures. Absent other context, 1000 has 1.
