1000 meters. The standard unit for geographical distances.
The kilometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousand meters. It is the primary unit used for expressing distances between geographical places on land in most of the world.
The SI base unit of length. Defined by the speed of light.
The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole, it has been defined since 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299 792 458 of a second.
A Scandinavian unit equal to 10 kilometers.
The 'mil' is a unit of length common in Sweden and Norway. Historically it varied by region, but since 1889 it has been standardized as exactly 10 kilometers. It should not be confused with the English 'mile'.
Imperial unit equal to 1,760 yards or exactly 1,609.344 meters.
The mile is an English unit of length equal to 5,280 feet, or 1,760 yards. It was standardized as exactly 1,609.344 meters by the International Yard and Pound Agreement of 1959.
Imperial unit equal to 3 feet or exactly 0.9144 meters.
The yard is a unit of length in both the British imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It comprises 3 feet or 36 inches. Since 1959, it is strictly defined as exactly 0.9144 meters.
Imperial unit equal to 12 inches or exactly 0.3048 meters.
The foot is a unit of length in the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It is equal to 12 inches. Since 1959, the international foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters.
Imperial unit equal to 1/12 of a foot or exactly 25.4 mm.
The inch is a unit of length in the British imperial and the United States customary systems of measurement. It is equal to 1/36 yard or 1/12 of a foot. Since 1959, the inch has been defined as exactly 25.4 mm.
Unit used in navigation, exactly 1852 meters.
The nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters. Historically defined as one minute of latitude, it is now internationally defined as exactly 1852 meters.
Astronomical unit approx 3.26 light-years.
The parsec is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System. It is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond. It is approximately equal to 3.26 light-years.
The distance light travels in one Julian year.
A light-year is a large unit of length used to express astronomical distances. It is defined as the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (365.25 days). It is equivalent to approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers.
Average distance from Earth to Sun.
The astronomical unit (symbol: au) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun. However, that distance varies as Earth orbits the Sun. The au is defined as exactly 149 597 870 700 meters.
There are exactly 2.54 centimeters in one inch. This is the international standard defined in 1959.
A land mile (statute mile) is 1,609.344 meters, while a nautical mile is exactly 1,852 meters. Nautical miles are primarily used in navigation and aviation.
The base-12 system has historical roots and is convenient because 12 can be divided evenly by 2, 3, 4, and 6, making mental arithmetic easier for construction and trade.
