Convert vara castellana to meter
Vara Castellana
The vara castellana is the Castilian standard of the Spanish vara, equal to approximately 0.8359 meters (about 32.9 inches), divided into 3 pies or 4 palmos. It was the predominant vara used in Spain and its colonies during the age of exploration and colonization, making it historically significant across Latin America. The vara castellana formed the basis for land surveys and commerce throughout the Spanish-speaking world before metrication.
Meter
The metre (Commonwealth spelling and BIPM spelling) or meter (American spelling) (from the French unit mètre, from the Greek noun μετρούν, "measure") is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km. In 1799, the metre was redefined in terms of a prototype metre bar (the actual bar used was changed in 1889). In 1960, the metre was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86. In 1983, the current definition was adopted.
