    The most common unit is meters (m for short). It is the base unit for distance or displacement in the metric system. If you are dealing with larger distances, you might use kilometers (I'm for short) which is just 1000 meters. On the other hand, centimeter (cm) are used for small distances and are 1/100 of a meter. Another common unit is millimeters (mm) which is 1/1000 of a meter.
