What is yard?
The yard (yd) is an imperial unit equal to 3 feet or 0.9144 metres. It is used primarily in the United States and United Kingdom for measuring fabric, football fields, and golf courses.
What is metre?
The metre (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Originally defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole, the metre is now defined by the speed of light in vacuum. It is used worldwide for everyday measurements, construction, and science.
