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.

Facts about Kilometer

Basic facts: A kilometer is a unit of length in the metric system, its symbol is “km”, it is equivalent to one thousand meters and 0.6214 miles. [kilo- is the SI prefix for 1000]. A slang term for the kilometer in the US, Canadian, and UK, militaries is “klick”.

History: The origin of the kilometer is related to that of the meter, and its present definition is the distance traveled by light in 1/299 792 458 seconds. The relationship between the meter and the kilometer will remain constant, although the above-mentioned definition is subject to change.

Use: Currently, it is the official unit of measurement for expressing distances between the world’s most geographical places on land. Though, there still remain some countries that mainly use the mile instead of the kilometer including the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US). The UK has adopted the metric system, unlike the United States, while in the UK, the metric system is widely used in government, industry, and commerce, rests of the imperial system can still be seen in the United Kingdom’s use of miles in its road systems.
