Unit History
About meters
The meter has a long history, first introduced during the late 18th century in France as part of the metric system. Over time, it has been redefined for greater precision but remains the foundational unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Today, it is used worldwide in nearly all scientific, industrial, and everyday measurements involving distance.
About centimeters
The centimeter, exactly one-hundredth of a meter, traces its origins to the same revolutionary reforms that created the metric system. Commonly used in everyday tasks, it is especially helpful for measuring smaller objects, personal body dimensions, and household items. It plays a critical role in many fields, from tailoring and construction to basic scientific experiments.
