Facts about length units and measurement

What is meter, kilometer and millimeter in ordinary people's lives? Meter, kilometer and millimeter are very important in people's lives. Meter is useful when we want to make something for personal use.

Meter is necessary if we need to make something for personal use. Meter is necessary if we want to make a box or a shelf. Usually meter is also needed to place a certain thing in a certain place. For instance, meter is used, when any furniture or a carpet is bought to see if it firs into the room. Besides for curtains we use meter as well.It is impossible to do without meter in everyday life. Meter is used to measure exact distance with measurement device.

Kilometer is simply a distance from one place to another one in ordinary people's life. Mostly we need to know, how many kilometers are there to reach a bus stop, shoping center or some other objects. Lets say, from our house till the bus stop we usually guess that it should be a half or a kilometer long.

Millimeter (millimeter) as a unit of measure is necessary for a very exact measurement. Sewing clothes or making something from wood people usually measure with millimeter exactness.

On the whole, such units of measurement are very significant, because undoubtedly, it is often necessary to find out length, height, width and depth.

Length is based on the geometric definition. It is a size, a quantity that describes the object parameter. In Euclidean space, it’s how 2 specific points are allocated. The regular SI unit of size is the meter. A meter has been formally described to be the particular measurement unit, used to measure distance, traveled by light photons in a vacuum within 1/299, 792, 458 second. Other length, distance measurements in the the metric system is calculated through this unit (eg. 1 kilometer = 1000 meters, 1 meter = 1000 millimeters, 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter). Imperial/American measurements have these types: inch, foot, yard, mile. It is much less logical.

Since 1958, the Harvard Bridge has been marked in smoots — units equal to the height of student Oliver Smoot (approximately 1 meter 70 centimeters). The total length of the bridge is 364.4 smoots and one ear. Why: it turned out to be convenient for the police to report that there was an accident on the 120th smoot, so they began to renew what was initially an innocent student joke, and even transferred the markings to the reconstructed bridge.
