What is something you measure in meters?

Answer 1

Simple answer: Distance can be stated in meters. A unit of measure to indicate length. Area or volume can be expressed in terms of square meters or cubic meters. In all countries except for two, the US and UK, the metric system is used to measure distances.

The units used for travel are kilometers, for objects less than a kilometer it is common to use meters, for objects smaller then a meter centimeters and millimeters are used. For really tiny things, like bacteria, metric units called microns are used. These are one-millionth of a meter long.

In the US and UK only scientists use the metric system. Most people use the Imperial system.

The distance units (leagues, miles, furlongs, chains, yards, feet, inches) in the Imperial system are defined in metric units. So an inch is 25.4000000000 millimeters — exactly. A foot is 12 times that, a yard 36 times, a chain 792 times and so on.
