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.
Mile (US Survey)
The US survey mile (symbol: mi) is a unit of length defined as exactly 5,280 US survey feet, equal to approximately 1,609.3472 metres. It differs very slightly from the international statute mile (1,609.344 m) due to the distinct definition of the US survey foot, which was used in geodetic surveying in the United States. The US survey foot and associated units were officially retired by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2023.
