Unit Definitions
What is a Meter (m)?
A meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is widely used for measuring distances and dimensions.
History
The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator. This definition has evolved, and in 1983 it was redefined based on the speed of light.
Current Use
Meters are commonly used in scientific research, engineering, and everyday activities, making them a fundamental unit in various fields.
