Definition of Centimeter

A centimeter (cm) is a decimal fraction of the meter, the International System of Units (SI) unit of length, approximately equivalent to 0.39 inches. The centimeter (cm) is a unit of length that was previously the base unit of length in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. Although SI prefixes for factors of 103 are preferred by technicians, the centimeter remains a practical unit of length for everyday measurements. An average adult person's fingernail width is approximately equal to one centimeter, making it useful for measuring small objects or distances.
