Yard / Meter Units Definition


Yard
Yard is an Unit of measurement of length (British imperial system), still used in the United States, defined as exactly 0.9144 meters since 1959. The symbol: yd (international) or vg (in French-speaking Canada). Formerly called verge in France, particularly for measuring fabrics; the verge is still used today in Canada, mainly in the field of North American football
Meter
The meter is the unit of measurement par excellence since the origin of this unit comes from the Latin "metrum" and the Greek "metron" which mean measure. It is also this unit which gives its name to the diplomatic treaty which formalizes the decimal metric system: the convention of the meter, signed on May 20, 1875 by 17 nations, which today provides its basis for the International System of Units (SI).
