Your question is very hard to undersand.
There are no "units" in POV, all metrics (including ditance beetween camera 
to object) are in "Pov-units"

If you make scene 

sphere { // eath 
0 1.0
.. }

then 1 unit will be milons miles, and in scene 

sphere { 0 1.0 ... } // atom 

1 unit = 0.00000000000000000000000000001 " (or less)
