AI overview
The metre is the standard unit used to measure length or distance in the metric system, and it's used worldwide in science, industry, and everyday life. Since 2019, it has been precisely defined based on how far light travels through a vacuum in a tiny fraction of a second, which ensures consistent and accurate measurements everywhere.
