Explanation
A meter is a unit used to measure length. One meter is equal to 100 centimetres or a little longer than one yard. For example, the table is two meters long means the table’s length is two metres. People use meters measure height, distance, or length of things like rooms, ropes, or roads.
👉 In British English, it’s spelled “metre”, but the meaning is the same.
