The meter, American spelling meter is the base unit of length.
An early definition of a metre was "the length of a pendulum with a half-period of one second" By the 18th century a definition based on "one ten-millionth of the length of the Earth's meridian along one quadrant" (the distance from the equator to the North Pole) was gaining favour, and this was the accepted definition when France adopted the metric system in 1795.
