The meter (m) is the SI base unit of length. Defined since 2019 as the distance light travels in vacuum in exactly 1/299,792,458 of a second, the meter is the reference all other length units derive from. It is the standard unit for room dimensions, sports fields, and short-to-mid distances in most of the world.
The foot (ft) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 0.3048 meters (12 inches). It is the everyday unit for human height, room sizes, and short distances in the United States. Five-thousand-two-hundred-and-eighty feet make one mile.
