A meter is a measure of length- a meter being just over three US feet. It is, of course, a unit of the metric system. There are 100 centimeters in a meter, and 1000 meters makes one kilometer.

Meters are used to measure everything between the length of a ruler and the distance between things in a room. Most household objects such as tables, rooms, window frames, television screens, etc. would be measured in meters.

Kilometers are used to measure long distances such as the distance between two cities or the length of a road. 1 kilometer is equal to 0.6 Miles.

Centimeters are metric units of measurement that are useful for measuring lengths of small objects, just like the imperial unit of inches. Centimeters are smaller than inches; it takes 2.54 centimeters to equal 1 inch.

Small units of length are called millimeters. It can be used to measure the thickness of a credit card for example. There are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter, or 1000 millimeters in 1 meter.

Oh, isn't that a happy little question! Meters are used to measure length or distance, like how far a squirrel scampers or how long a river flows. Just think of meters as a friendly little tool to help us appreciate the beauty and wonder of the world around us.

Meters are used to measure length, not to be confused with the unit of length. So when you whip out a meter stick, you're using it to measure the length of something. Just don't go around measuring people's patience with it, that's a whole different kind of meter.

Oh, dude, meters are used to measure length or distance. Like, you know when you're trying to figure out how far away the snack aisle is from the couch? That's when you bust out a meter stick and realize it's like 10 meters away. It's basically a fancy ruler for grown-ups.
