A meter is an instrument for measuring - like a water meter or an electricity meter.

A metre (apart from in the US where both spellings are the same) is a unit of length in the metric system. It was originally intended to be one ten millionth of the dstance from the North Pole to the equator - through Paris - though this was replaced by a more precise definition in the early 1980s.

A metre is approx 39.4 inches.
