Today we're going to look at the conversion of meters to feet. Both of these are units of length. The meter is the base unit in the International System of Units and is equal to the distance travelled by light through a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. The foot (plural: feet) is an imperial unit originating from the length of the human foot.  You may have noticed my use of the spelling 'meter.' A number of people over the years have written to me to say that I am spelling the unit incorrectly by adopting 'meter' as the default spelling in many of my converters and articles. Use of the word 'meter' in the UK is commonly reserved for describing an instrument that measures the flow of electricity, gas, water etc. However, as far as the unit is concerned, there are actually two spellings for the meter - the international spelling of 'metre' and the US spelling of 'meter.' There are 3.280839895 feet in a meter. (rounded to 9 decimal places) 1 meter = 3.280839895 feet To assist you with converting meters to feet, I have included a chart and a converter below. I've also created a similar article discussing how many feet there are in a mile.

For a specific number conversion, please use the converter tool underneath this chart.

As an alternative, should you wish to convert between meters, feet AND inches then please try the converter for meters to feet and inches or the one for feet to meters. My website provides a comprehensive list of online conversion tools. So, should you wish to convert between meters, feet, inches, and any other units of length or distance, give the length and distance converter a try. Estimating meters and feet conversions in your headSteve Reid has written to me to suggest a simple way of estimating m to ft (and vice versa) in your head. Here's the concept:
Example: Ben Nevis is 1344m high. How high is it in feet? 1344 × 10 = 13440 Gives us a total of 4,408 feet. Using the converter, we find that 1,344m is actually 4,409ft. So, we're 1 foot out, but as a rough estimate we're good. Advertisement Rate this article Please rate this article below. If you have any feedback on it, please contact me. Your comments| Last update: 26 July 2021 Miles and meters, meters and miles. If you happen to procure a time machine and meet a monocled Brit from 1825, they might give you directions to the nearest Olde Pie Shoppe in miles. And much obliged you would be for that, too. In fact, even if you talk to any Brit or American today - here in the 21st century - they'll probably still define distance using imperial units, whilst much of the rest of the world has moved on to the slightly tidier metric system. So how is the modern Italian to interpret the Georgian English measurement? And how is the modern Brit or American to convert miles to meters when visiting Europe and making sense of meter-based satnavs, maps and road signs? Well, park up your time machine for just a moment so you can learn all about conversion of miles to meters. Let's start with the bare facts. One mile is the same as 1609.344 meters (or 'metres', if you're British). This means that 5 miles is 8046.72m and 10 miles is 16093.44m. To convert miles into meters, you simply multiply the number of miles by the number of meters in a mile: Number of miles × 1609.344m. If you were hoping for some nice round figures to convert between, we can only apologise. Imperial and metric systems are totally different approaches to measuring, so it's a little like asking how many Hershey bars-long a Lamborghini is. Sure, you'll get the same result every time, but one was not designed with the other in mind, so it won't be a 'perfect' number. (The Lamborghini Gallardo is about 31.47 Hershey bars long, if you were wondering). Converting miles to metersThe table below shows conversions for standard, statute miles to meters/metres.
Miles to meters calculatorAs we like to be extra helpful, here's a calculator for converting other mile and meter figures. "The mile is defined via the meter..."Now, if you're looking for an answer to stun everyone into silence at your next neighborhood potluck (even more impressive than measuring in Hershey bars), you could get down to atomic level analysis of miles and meters and quote famous physicist Brian Cox, who recently tweeted that, "The mile is defined via the metre - defined as distance light travels in 1/299792458 of a second. A mile is 1609.344 metres. A second is 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom." The mile is defined via the metre - defined
as distance light travels in 1/299792458 of a second. A mile is 1609.344 metres. A second is 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom. @LaylaMoran Got that? I'm sure we're all perfectly clear on his meaning so we won't bother elaborating further. Oh, but when is a mile not a mile? When it's a Roman mile, of course! Learn the full, ridiculous history of the unit's name and definition in our 'How many feet in a mile?' article. And not to complicate things too much, but of course, you already know that a London mile is 1524m, an international nautical mile is 1852m, an Irish mile is 2048m and a Russian mile is 7468m. (Don't worry: most of those are obsolete now!). Some mile units - past and present
