Definition of Length
Length is but one particular instance of
distance – an object's length is how long the object is – but in the physical
sciences and engineering, the word length is in some contexts used synonymously
with "distance". Height is vertical distance; width (or breadth) is a lateral
distance; an object's width is less than its length.
