About the Units

Meter (m)

The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. Today, it is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. The meter is used worldwide for scientific and everyday measurements.

Yard (yd)

The yard is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 0.9144 meters. One yard equals 3 feet or 36 inches. The yard is commonly used in the United States for measuring distances in football, land surveying, and fabric. In the UK, road signs still reference yards for short distances.
