>>19411902A meter is roughly the same length as a yard, so slightly more than three feet. 100 centimeters to a meter (obviously), and roughly 2.5 centimeters to an inch. If you are familiar with firearms, then round diameters are frequently measured in both calibers and metric lengths, which can provide an easy shorthand for guesstimations (eg, a half inch length, or .50 calibers, is also around 12.7 millimeters).
