Span (span)
Length
Traceable to the metre, defined by fixing the speed of light in vacuum at 299 792 458 m/s. Imperial lengths derive from the 1959 international yard (0.9144 m exactly).

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.
