The American measurement system actually is "European" because it came from England, although Americans changed it around a bit. It's a collection of very arbitrary units, such as 3 feet in a yard, 5280 feet in a mile, 32 ounces in a gallon, etc. In England, it's 40 ounces in a gallon, but the ounces are a tiny bit different. Other places in Europe and in North and South America, including Canada and Mexico (actually almost everywhere in the world EXCEPT the U.S.) use the metric system. A meter is currently defined as {| ! 1983 ! align="left" | Length traveled by light in vacuum during 1 / 299 792 458 of a second. |
All units are multiples of 10, such as:
1000 millimeters = meter
1000 meters = kilometer Way easier to remember. |}
