The meter was defined by the French Academy of Sciences as the length between two marks on a platinum-iridium bar, which was designed to represent one ten-millionth of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole through Paris.
In 1983, the meter was redefined as the distance traveled by light in free space in 1⁄299,792,458 of a second.
