About the yard and the meter
The yard
The yard (yd) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 0.9144 meters (3 feet). It is used in American football field measurements, fabric and textile retail, and many landscaping contexts. The international yard was harmonized with the imperial yard in 1959.
The meter
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.
