Meters unit in Length A meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the distance that light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. Meters are widely used in everyday life, science, and engineering to measure distances, heights, and dimensions of objects, providing a standard measurement that is easy to use and understand globally.
Chains unit in Length A chain is a unit of length traditionally used in land surveying, equal to 66 feet or approximately 20.12 meters. The chain was originally based on the length of a surveyor's chain and is still used in some contexts for measuring land parcels, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom. This unit is also commonly referenced in historical land records.
