Depends. Light years if finding the diameter of a galaxy, kilometre for an earth size planet, metre for the turning circle of a car, centimetre for a car tyre, micrometre for a precision screw, femtometre for a atom.

Add to that, the precision that you want/need will influence your choice.

How many meters is equal to a diameter?

A meter is a unit of measure, and a diameter is the longest linear distance from one point on a circle to another. You cannot convert from one unit to another. If you know other information about a particular circle, however, you can find the diameter's length in meters, but this value can change depending on the circle.
