meters (m)
The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole, its definition has evolved with scientific precision. Since 1983, the meter has been defined by the speed of light: it is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. This universal constant ensures the meter remains the same everywhere in the universe.

feet (ft)
The foot is one of the most intuitive ancient units, originally based on the length of a human foot. Almost every culture had its own version, from the Greek 'pous' to the Roman 'pes'. The standardization of the foot was crucial for trade and construction. Today, the International Foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters. It remains the dominant unit for aviation altitude worldwide, even in metric-dominant countries.
