Mile
Mile was a Roman route measurement, which was worth a thousand paces (1,481.5 m).International unit of measurement for distances in air or sea navigation corresponding to the distance between two points on Earth with the same longitude and whose latitudes differ by one minute. (The mile is conventionally worth 1,852 m, except in Commonwealth countries, where it is worth 1,853.18 m.) [It is also called a nautical mile or nautical mile.]In Canada, an old unit of measurement for distances, equivalent to the British mile (approximately 1,609 m).
Kilometer
The kilometer (symbol km) is a unit of length, created in 1790, worth 1,000 meters1.It is the multiple of the meter most frequently used to measure terrestrial distances (for example: between cities). Kilometer points are thus defined along communication routes, which are materialized on roads by road markers.The linear kilometer is also used in the field of archives, to quantify their volume; it corresponds to the cumulative length of the shelves occupied by the documents[ref. necessary].The symbol for the prefix kilo- is the lowercase k.
