Convert mile (statute) to meter
Mile (Statute)
The statute mile (symbol: mi) is a unit of length equal to exactly 1,609.344 metres, defined by international agreement in 1959. It consists of 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards, and is the standard mile used in the United States and the United Kingdom for road distances and everyday measurement. The statute mile descends from the Roman mille passuum (thousand paces) via the English customary system.
Meter
The metre (Commonwealth spelling and BIPM spelling) or meter (American spelling) (from the French unit mètre, from the Greek noun μετρούν, "measure") is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km. In 1799, the metre was redefined in terms of a prototype metre bar (the actual bar used was changed in 1889). In 1960, the metre was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86. In 1983, the current definition was adopted.
