Meter

A meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.

Introduced during the French Revolution, the meter was originally based on one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. Today, its definition is anchored in physical constants for precision.

Meters are used in nearly every aspect of life, including construction, sports measurements, science, and daily activities requiring medium-range length assessments.
