What is a meter?
The meter is the SI base unit of length. Since 1983 it has been defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. It is a little longer than a yard: one meter is about 1.0936 yards or 3.2808 feet.
What is a centimeter?
The centimeter is one hundredth of a meter, about the width of a fingernail. Most of the world uses it for body height, clothing measurements and furniture sizes. An inch is exactly 2.54 cm, so a 6-foot person is about 183 cm tall.
