It depends. In the US, distance is measured in units of inches, feet, yards, rods, furlongs, miles, and nautical miles. In the rest of the world, distance is measured in terms of meters (1/1000 of a meter is a millimeter, 1/100 a centimeter 1/10 a decimeter, 10 meters is a dekameter, 1000 a kilometer.) A meter is almost the same length as a yard, which is three feet (exactly 1 yard is 0.914 meters).
