it means what's the unit you use to measure distance or length.

Eg, you have a piece of string and you want to measure it. You take the ruler and you simply measure it. Then you say the length of the string is X inches, or X feet. Here the inch and feet are units of length.

Outside the US, the standard unit for length is meters. US uses both the metric and the imperial system. So in the US the standard unit for length could be yards, feet, inch, etc.
