<P> A unit of length refers to any discrete, pre-established length or distance having a constant magnitude which is used as a reference or convention to express linear dimension . The most common units in modern use are U.S. customary units in the United States and metric units elsewhere . British Imperial units are still used for some purposes in the United Kingdom and some other countries . The metric system is sub-divided into SI and non-SI units . </P> <P> The base unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the metre, defined as "the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of ​ ⁄ seconds ." It is approximately equal to 6999999987839999999 ♠ 1.0936 yd .
