Glossary

Yard (yd)

A yard is three feet or 0.9144 m. It is used in American football fields, fabric and carpet sales, gardening hose lengths and golf course distances. The yard is close to one meter (1 yd = 0.9144 m) but not equal — a fact that matters for sports records and engineering drawings.

Mile (mi)

A statute mile is 5,280 feet or exactly 1,609.344 m. It is the road-distance unit in the United States, the United Kingdom and a few other countries; speed limits there are posted in miles per hour. Do not confuse with the nautical mile, which is longer and based on Earth's arc.

Metric system (SI)

The metric system is a decimal system of measurement built around the meter for length, the kilogram for mass and the second for time, with multiples and submultiples expressed as powers of ten (millimeter, centimeter, kilometer). Adopted in France in 1799 and codified internationally as the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, it is now the official measurement system in nearly every country and the standard in science and engineering worldwide.

Imperial / US Customary system

The imperial system is the historical English system of weights and measures whose length units are the inch, foot, yard and mile (12 in = 1 ft, 3 ft = 1 yd, 1,760 yd = 1 mi). Codified by the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824 and aligned with US Customary by the international yard-and-pound agreement of 1959 (1 inch = 25.4 mm exactly), it is still used in the United States, the United Kingdom and a handful of other countries for everyday distances.
