Meter

Definition: A meter, or metre, is the base unit of length and distance in the International System of Units (SI).

History/origin: Originally, in 1793, the meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. It's currently defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

Current use: Being the SI unit of length, the meter is used worldwide for measuring distance, height, length, and width. The United States is a notable exception, largely using yards, inches, and feet instead.

Foot

Definition: A foot is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement, equal to 12 inches (0.3048 meters).

History/origin: The foot has historically been based on the length of a human foot, with various regional definitions before standardization.

Current use: The foot remains standard in the United States for height and construction, and in aviation worldwide for altitude.
