The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. The current definition provides extreme precision based on fundamental physical constants.

Current Use

The meter is used worldwide for most length measurements in science, engineering, and everyday life in countries that have adopted the metric system.
