What are Yard and Meter

Definition of Yard

A yard is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is traditionally defined as the distance from the tip of the nose to the end of the thumb of an outstretched arm. This measurement is standardized to be exactly 0.9144 meters. The yard is commonly used in the United States, Canada, and parts of the United Kingdom, particularly in the context of measuring distances in fields like athletics and land surveying.

Definition of Meter

A meter, symbolized as 'm', is the fundamental 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 meridian, it is now defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. The meter is widely used globally in all fields of science, engineering, and commerce, providing a universal standard for measuring length.
