A meter stick is used to measure length and short distances.
A meter stick is between 1.00m and 1.05m long. It is calibrated in cm and mm, which are the units it is used to measure. Measurement of distances of a number of meters was traditionally done with surveyor's tapes or chains; nowadays by interferometry using a laser. Ultra high precision measurement is mostly still done with a Fabry-Perot interferometer.

∙ 7y agoA meter stick can be used to measure lengths. It is best if used for things that are smaller than a meter long, but can still be used for longer lengths if necessary. Some examples of things you can measure include:
- The height of a preschooler
- The diameter of a barrel
- The length of a box
