The unit is the unit of your projection. It's probably degree in your case.

You can transform your projection for example to some meter projection like
"World Mercator" (ie. EPSG:3785).
Then length(geometry) will be in meter.

Like "SELECT length(ST_transform(<geometry column>,3785)) AS meter FROM
<table>".
