What is a Mile?

One mile is equivalent to 5,280 feet, 1,760 yards, or approximately 1.609 kilometers. The word "mile" originates from the Latin term mille passus, meaning "a thousand paces," which was a measurement used by the Romans. While most of the world uses the metric system, the mile remains prevalent in certain regions, particularly for transportation and geographical measurements.
