Caliber Definition
The effective length of the barrel (from breech to muzzle) is divided by the barrel diameter to give a dimensionless quantity. As an example, the main guns of the Iowa-class battleships can be referred to as 16"/50 caliber. They are 16 inches in diameter and the barrel is 800 inches long (16 × 50 = 800).
Meter Definition
The unit of length in SI, one of the seven base units. Since 1983 the meter has been defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in exactly 1⁄299,792,458th of a second. This definition of the meter makes the length of the meter depend on the duration of the second; by definition the speed of light is now exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. A measurement of the time it takes light to travel between two points in a vacuum no longer indicates the speed of light; it indicates the distance between the points.
