Yard / Kilometer Units Definition
Yard
Yard is an Unit of measurement of length (British imperial system), still used in the United States, defined as exactly 0.9144 meters since 1959. The symbol: yd (international) or vg (in French-speaking Canada). Formerly called verge in France, particularly for measuring fabrics; the verge is still used today in Canada, mainly in the field of North American football
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.
