That depends on what characteristic of the object you want to measure.

Length, width, height, area, volume . . . a ruler

Mass . . . a pan balance and calibrated set of reference masses

Weight . . . a bathroom scale

Then there are the object's density, color, texture, specific heat capacity,

surface albedo, hardness, transparency, moment of intertia, etc. Each

of those would call for a different unit with which to measure it.

The meter. If the distance is large, you may want to use kilometers instead; if the distance is small, millimeters or microns (= micrometers).

Really you could use any unit you wish. Toothpicks or matchsticks laid end to end would give you a measure in those units.
