Meters

Definition: A meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.

History: The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. In 1983, it was redefined in terms of the speed of light to ensure greater precision in scientific measurements.

Hectometers

Definition: A hectometer (hm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters.

History: The hectometer was introduced as part of the metric system in the late 18th century, but it is rarely used in common measurements. It finds occasional use in land measurements, such as defining agricultural fields.
