Mile
A mile is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. The international mile is defined as exactly 1,609.344 meters.
History/Origin
The word "mile" comes from the Latin "mille passus," meaning "a thousand paces." The Roman mile spread throughout their empire. The English statute mile was established by an Act of Parliament in 1592.
Current Use
The mile is used for measuring distances on roads in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is also used in horse racing.
Meter
The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
History/Origin
The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. This changed in 1889, when the international prototype meter was established as the length of a prototype meter bar, made of an alloy of platinum and iridium. In 1960, the meter was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86.
Current Use
The meter is used worldwide in many applications such as science, engineering, and trade. The United States is one of the few countries in which the meter is not widely used in everyday life and trade.
