What is a meter?
The meter is the base unit of length in the metric system, which almost every country in the world uses. It started out in the 1790s as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator. Today it has a much sharper definition: a meter is how far light travels through empty space in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
A meter is a handy size for everyday things. A doorway is about two meters tall, a long step is close to one meter, and a school hallway might be thirty meters long. Because the metric system works in tens, bigger and smaller units are just the meter with a prefix: a kilometer is 1,000 meters and a centimeter is one hundredth of a meter.
In writing, the meter is usually shortened to "m". One meter is 1 meters, and that ratio is what every figure on this page is built from.
