Meter
What is meter?
Meter or metre is a metric measurement slightly longer than a yard. It is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Distance measures length. For example, the distance of a road is how long the road is.
Originally, the meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole in 1793.
Meter is used as a measure of distance across the globe, the primary exception being the United States, where the imperial system is used for most purposes.

Millimeter
What is millimeter?
The millimeter is a unit of length in the metric system. A millimeter is a tiny unit of measurement. The thickness of a dime is a little more than a millimeter, and there are a thousand millimeters in a meter.
If you want to understand millimeter more, look at a ruler that includes centimeters. The units of metric measurement that are closest in length to inches. The smallest units marked on the ruler are millimeters — there are ten of them in each centimeter.
A common shortening of millimetre in spoken English is “mil”. This can cause confusion since in the United States, “mil” traditionally means a thousandth of an inch.
