The meter was defined in 1792 as 1/10,000,000 of the distance between the North Pole and the equator on a line running through Paris, France. The standard length of a meter was later changed to be the distance between two fine lines engraved on a bar of platinum and iridium alloy. The next definition was based on the wavelength of light emitted by an isotope of the element krypton. The present definition, in use since 1983, is the distance light travels in a vacuum during approximately one three hundred millionths of a second (1/299,792,458 sec).
