Meter (m) is a unit in the category of Length. It is also known as meters, metre, metres. This unit is commonly used in the SI unit system. Meter (m) has a dimension of L where L is length. This unit is the standard SI unit in this category.
Note that the seven base dimensions are M (Mass), L (Length), T (Time), Q (Temperature), N (Aamount of Substance), I (Electric Current), and J (Luminous Intensity).
