Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place

For instance, the energy in petrol is used to run motor vehicles, the process result in the conversion of the chemical energy in the petrol to heat energy. The heat energy that is produced can not be easily gathered and used again, thus, the usefulness of that heat energy has been degraded.
