About the meter and the yard
The meter (metre) is the SI base unit of length. Since 1983 it has been defined by the speed of light: the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. It is used for room sizes, running tracks, swimming pools and building heights almost everywhere outside the US.
A yard is 3 feet, or 36 inches. It measures an American football field (100 yards between the goal lines), fabric lengths in the US and UK, golf shots and some road distances in the UK.
One meter equals 1.093613 yards, which makes the meter the longer unit of the two.
