Imperial/US

Meile

Definition

Eine imperiale Längeneinheit gleich 5.280 Fuß, 1.760 Yard oder genau 1,609344 Kilometer.

Erklärung

The mile derives from the Roman 'mille passuum' (thousand paces), where one pace was two steps (~1.48 m). The US and UK share the same statute mile definition, but the nautical mile (1,852 m) is a separate unit used in aviation and shipping. At highway speeds of 60 mph, a car covers one mile in exactly 60 seconds.
