Imperial/US

Mille

Définition

Une unité de longueur impériale égale à 5 280 pieds, 1 760 yards ou exactement 1,609344 kilomètres.

Explication

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.
