About miles
The mile has a storied past, originating from the Roman 'mille passus'—literally 'a thousand paces,' where a pace was two steps. The modern 'statute mile' of 5,280 feet was codified during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in 1593 to align with agricultural surveys (furlongs). While most of the world has switched to kilometers, the mile remains the king of the road in the United States and United Kingdom. miles are commonly used in US and UK highway distances, Speed limits (mph), Frequent flyer programs, and Running (the 4-minute mile), Railway trackage.
Walking at a brisk pace, you can cover a mile in about 15-20 minutes.
About yards
The yard's origin is legendary, with tales claiming it matched the girth of a Saxon king's chest or the distance from King Henry I's nose to his thumb. Historically, it was divided into binary fractions (half-yard, span, finger) for cloth trade. Since 1959, the International Yard has been legally defined as exactly 0.9144 meters, binding the imperial system directly to the metric constant. yards are commonly used in American football fields, Fabric and textile sales, Golf course yardage, and Landscaping (cubic yards of soil), Cricket pitch lengths.
