A meter is the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds, so a centimeter is this distance divided by 100 and a millimeter is this distance divided by 1000.

A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one hundredth of a meter, while a millimeter is equal to one thousandth of a meter. Both centimeters and millimeters are used to measure short distances or dimensions.
