What is Length?

Length is the measure of distance in one dimension—the extent of an object from one end to the other, or the distance between two points. The SI base unit is the metre (m), defined since 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. Common derived units include the kilometre (km = 1,000 m) for distances and the centimetre (cm) and millimetre (mm) for everyday measurements. US customary length units include the inch (in), foot (ft), yard (yd), and mile (mi). The nautical mile (1,852 m) is used in aviation and maritime navigation.
