The Meter (m) in Length

What is Meter (m)

The meter (m) is the fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is widely used around the world for various applications, including science, engineering, and everyday measurements. The meter was originally defined in the late 18th century as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the Equator. Today, the meter is defined based on the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds, making it a precise and universally accepted measure of length.

The meter serves as the standard for measuring length and provides a basis for further subdivision and conversion into other units. Here, we will explore some common conversion values related to the meter.
