About Meters
The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, the meter is now defined by the speed of light.
Real-World Examples
- An average doorway is about 2 meters tall
- An Olympic swimming pool is 50 meters long
- The Statue of Liberty stands 93 meters from ground to torch tip
💡 Did you know? The meter was redefined in 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second, making it one of the most precisely defined units in science.
