Mile

The mile is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 1.60931 kilometers. It is also the basic distance unit used throughout the United States of America and many countries of the world. The word “mile” comes from the Latin word for “a thousand paces,” although its actual origins are still debated by scholars. The Romans used it to measure distances from one water source or naval station to another. Over time, other units were also derived from the mile, including the yard, league, foot and inch. Today, various definitions of the mile exist, but it is most commonly defined as 3,280 feet or 1.609 kilometers.

Meter (m)

A meter is the basic unit of measurement in the metric system. Originally, meters were the length of a pendulum that shook each time it hit a floor or a beam. The original metric system was based on the length of a pendulum and consisted of 1/10 000th of a kilometer (or one tenth of a millimeter). Today, meters are used to measure everything from length to volume to temperature. Meter is a unit of measurement that originated in ancient India. It was primarily used to measure liquids, such as water and rice wine, but it has since been adapted for other uses. In particular, meter is the standard by which length and weight are measured. Today, meter is most commonly used to measure electricity, gas and water. Butmeter has also been adopted by some industries as their preferred standard for measuring quantities such as freight volume, material flow or production output.
