Meter

A meter (m) was a Human unit of length. On Earth, it was almost 40 inches long, and was considered part of the metric system (to distinguish from the system of inches, feet, miles). As a measure of length, the meter was often used to describe such factors as height, range, distance, thickness, depth, diameter or radius.
