Metres
The metre, or meter, is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is currently defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. The current world record for running 100 metres is 9.58 seconds, set by Usain Bolt in 2009.
Yards
The yard is an English unit of length, in both the British imperial and US customary systems of measurement, that comprises 3 feet or 36 inches. Did you know that a yard of ale, whilst being 2.5 imperial pints of beer, is so called because the glass is a yard long.
