What is centimetre?
The centimetre (cm) is a metric unit of length equal to one hundredth of a metre. Commonly used for measuring body height, clothing sizes, and small objects. One centimetre equals 10 millimetres or approximately 0.394 inches.
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.
