Facts about Meter

Basic facts: In Commonwealth spelling – metre, or in American spelling – meter. Metre [symbol: m] comes from the French unit mètre and from the Greek noun “measure”. Meter is the base unit of length and distance in SI [the International System of Units]. It is defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/299 792 458 of a second. The existing definition was adopted in 1983 and changed slightly in 2002 to clarify that the metre is a measure of proper length.

History: Initially, the meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole, in 1793. This changed when the international prototype metre was established as the length of a prototype meter bar [made of an alloy of 90% platinum and 10% iridium] measured at the melting point of ice, in 1793. The meter was again redefined, this time in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86, In 1960. The existing definition of the meter is actually the same as the definition that was adopted in 1983, with slight changes due to the modification in the definition of the second.

Use: The meter is used worldwide (being the SI unit of length) in many applications such as measuring distance, height, length, width, etc. The US is one significant exception in that it mainly uses US customary units like yards, inches, feet, and miles rather than meters in daily use.

Facts about Mile

Basic facts: The mile, sometimes the international mile [statute mile] to distinguish it from other miles, is the US customary and British imperial unit of distance [symbol: mi or m]. It is currently defined as 1,760 yards, 5,280 feet, or exactly 1,609.344 meters.

History: A mile is an English unit [predecessor of Imperial units and United States Customary Unit] of length. Before the widespread adoption of the metric system, the use of the abbreviation “m” for a mile was common; “mi” became the preferred abbreviation in order to avoid confusion between miles and meters, it happened after the adoption of the metric system. The definition of a mile as 5,280 feet [or 8 furlongs], sometimes referred to as the statute mile, land mile, or international mile, which differs from the Roman mile of 5,000 feet, developed back in 1593, due to the significance of the furlong in England. There also exist a number of units based on, or closely related to, the Roman mile, including the nautical mile [1.852 km exactly], Chinese mile [500m exactly], and Italian mile [approx. 1.852 km].

Use: Regardless of the fact that most countries have adopted the metric system and use kilometers, rather than miles, to express land distance, the mile is still mostly used in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Liberia, and Myanmar, as well as some other countries which are territories either of UK or US or have historical connections with either country.
