A meter is a fractional part of the circumference of the earth.
Historically that is almost correct. It was the distance between marks on a metal bar which represented 1/10,000,000 (one ten millionth) of the distance between the equator and the north pole on the meridian passing through Paris.
It is now defined as the distance travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

Here are the prefixes which can also be used as the units of meter. Scroll down to related links and look at "Prefixes".
Meter measurements are the distance from the floor to a common doorknob.
Meters are the fundamental unit of length in the metric system, equal to 100 centimeters or approximately 39.37 inches.
it is a inch
The answer is a meter!!!!!!!!!!!
A meter stick would be one. A metric tape measure would be another.A measuring tape.a rulerA meter stickyou can use a metric tape or a yardstick or a metre trundle wheel and finally a metre stickA tape measure, calibrated in meters.A meterstickusually a metric measuring tape.
A metric ton is equal to 1000 kilograms, which is a weight measurement. Cubic meter is a volume measurement. One cubic meter is equal to 1000 kg.

No. Imperial. The Metre (to use its correct, French, spelling - not 'meter'!) is the nearest metric unit to the yard, at roughly 39 inches, but that is co-incidental. They are in totally different systems.
A meter is metric.
A linear meter is a meter, in a straight line, as opposed to cubic meter, which covers a 2-dimensional plane. They are both part of the metric system. There is no metric meter, other than just referring to a meter as being part of the metric system.
The customary units are ones we use everyday. metric units usually have the word meter on it. my teacher taught me meter metric no meter no metric.
yes a metric ruler and a meter ruler is the same
The meter is the metric base unit for volume, and the cubic meter is the derived unit.
The basic metric unit of measure for length is the meter (m).
The opposing systems are imperial and metric, not customary. But, meters are metric.
Cubic meter is a measurement of volume, and metric ton is a measurement of weight.
The meter is in the metric system
No. The closest metric unit is the meter.
