Meter (Metre) to Yard
A meter (metre in British English) and a yard are both units of length, but they belong to different measurement systems.
Meter (Metre):
- It is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).
- 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters or approximately 39.37 inches.
Yard:
- It is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems.
- 1 yard is equal to 3 feet or 36 inches, and approximately 0.9144 meters.
So, a meter is slightly longer than a yard.
