A metre was originally defined as one ten millionths of the distance from the North Pole to the equator along the meridian that went through Paris. A centimetre is one hundredth of a metre.

The metre has since been redefined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. A centimetre remains 1/100 of a metre.
