Unit Definition (palmo [Portuguese])
The palmo is a traditional unit of distance in Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese palmo equals 0.1 braça or about 22.0 centimeters (8.66 inches). These units are based on the width of a person's outstretched hand, from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger, a definition identical to that of the English span.

Unit Definition (meter)
The meter is the basic unit of length adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites (approximately 1.094 yards). The meter is also the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second by definition
