The meter is the SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. Nearly every other length unit is now legally defined against it.
The centimeter, one hundredth of a meter, is the everyday small unit of the metric world: body height, clothing measurements and school rulers all speak in centimeters.
