What unit is measured for height?

The unit measured for height is usually expressed in centimeters (cm) or meters (m) in the metric system. For instance, a person's height might be described as 175 cm or 1.75 m. This is the standard unit of height measurement used in most countries around the world.

In some countries, inches (in) and feet (ft) are still commonly used to measure height. For example, a person's height might be expressed as 5 feet 9 inches (5'9") in imperial units.

It's worth noting that the SI unit for measuring length, and thus height, is the meter (m). Therefore, centimeters and meters are the preferred units for expressing height measurements in the scientific community and in many countries.
