A meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), which is the modern metric system used for scientific and everyday measurements in most countries around the world. The meter is defined as the length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.

In more practical terms, a meter is approximately equal to:

  • 1,000 millimeters (mm)
  • 0.001 kilometers (km)
  • 39.37 inches
  • 3.28 feet
  • 1.09 yards

Meters are commonly used for measuring various lengths and distances, including the dimensions of objects, the length of rooms or buildings, and distances between locations on Earth. It is a versatile unit of measurement that is widely used in science, engineering, construction, and everyday life.
