1. Learn the difference between an inch and an inch. The centimeter is a unit of length that (with a few stubborn exceptions) is established worldwide in the metric system or SI system. One centimeter equals one hundredth of a meter. An inch is a unit of length used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
