Meters (m)
Definition
A meter (m) is the SI base unit of length, originally defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole, now defined by the speed of light in vacuum.
History
The meter was created during the French Revolution (1793) to establish a universal measurement standard. Since 1983, it has been defined as the distance light travels in vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Current use
The meter is the fundamental unit of length used worldwide for construction, athletics, science, navigation, and everyday measurements. It is the basis of the entire metric system.
