About Meter
The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It was originally defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole.
Fun Fact: The meter was redefined in 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Common uses: construction, athletics, science.
About Span
The span (span) is a unit of distance and length. One span equals 0.2286 metres. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other length unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.
Common uses: length calculations, engineering and science, education.
