One meter is a length measurement, equal to 3.28 feet. You can test this using a meter stick and 1 foot (12 inch) rulers. Lay the meter stick on the ground, and place the rulers end-to-end next to it. Three rulers (3 feet) will almost be as long as the meter stick.
Characteristics: Uses: Magnesium is a silvery-white, low density, reasonably strong metal that tarnishes in air to form a thin oxide coating. Magnesium and its alloys have very good corrosion resistance and good high temperature mechanical properties.The metal reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas.When it burns in air, magnesium produces a brilliant white light. The brilliant light it produces when ignited is made use of in photography, flares, pyrotechnics and incendiary bombs.agnesium and its alloys have very good corrosion resistance and good high temperature mechanical properties.

Magnesium (Mg) is the lightest of all metals, being about two-thirds lighter than aluminium. Magnesium is non-toxic, non-magnetic, has high-impact strength and is resistant to denting. Magnesium is too reactive to occur in nature as an element, but its compounds are common. At 2.5%, magnesium is the eighth most abundant element in the earth's crust. It is the third most abundant element in sea water which averages about 0.13% magnesium by weight.
