Miles (mi)
Definition
A mile (mi) is an imperial unit of length equal to 5,280 feet, 1,760 yards, or approximately 1.60934 kilometers.
History
The mile originated from the Roman 'mille passus' (a thousand paces). The statute mile of 5,280 feet was established by English Parliament in 1593 and remains the standard in the US and UK.

Miles are the primary unit for road distances and speed limits in the United States, United Kingdom, and a few other countries. They are also used in running events (the mile run) and informal distance references.
Meters (m)
Definition
A meter (m) is the SI base unit of length, originally defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole, now defined by the speed of light in vacuum.
History
The meter was created during the French Revolution (1793) to establish a universal measurement standard. Since 1983, it has been defined as the distance light travels in vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Current use
The meter is the fundamental unit of length used worldwide for construction, athletics, science, navigation, and everyday measurements. It is the basis of the entire metric system.
