   2 days ago · The SI unit of displacement is the meter (m). The meter is the fundamental unit of length in the SI system and is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. This definition provides a precise and standardized reference for measuring length and, consequently, displacement.
