A second is the amount of time it takes light to travel 299,792,458 meters in a vacuum, and a meter is the distance it takes light to travel in a vacuum for one 299,792,458th of a second.
I mean, it's all very plain and easy to understand, for goodness sake!

If I recall correctly, the original definition of the meter was to be the surface distance between the north pole and the equator divided by 10,000,000.
