Metre

Meter (or metre) is the standard unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), used worldwide for precise measurement of distance. It is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This creates a universal, consistent way to measure length across various fields, from science and engineering to everyday life. One meter is roughly equivalent to 39.37 inches or about 3.28 feet. Its precise definition ensures uniformity in measurement regardless of location, making it fundamental for accurate communication and calculation involving distance.
