What is length in physics? Length is the
0:02
physical quantity that measures the
0:04
distance between two points. Length is
0:07
one of the fundamental quantities in
0:09
physics. It is used to describe how
0:12
long, wide, or tall an object is.

Measuring length helps us determine the
0:17
size of objects and the distance between
0:20
different positions. In physics, length
0:23
is measured using standard units so that
0:25
measurements can be accurate and
0:27
consistent everywhere. Imagine measuring
0:30
a table with a ruler. You place the
0:32
ruler along the edge of the table to
0:34
find out how long it is. The distance
0:37
from one end of the table to the other
0:39
is its length. Examples: length of a
0:42
classroom. Height of a building.
0:44
Distance between two cities. Width of a
