The mile, sometimes the international mile or statute mile to distinguish it from other miles, is a British regal unit and United States customary unit of distance; both are based on the older English unit of measurement of length equal to 5,280 English feet, or 1,760 yards. The statute mile was standardised between the British Commonwealth and the United states of america by an international agreement in 1959, when it was formally redefined with respect to SI units every bit exactly 1,609.344 metres.

With qualifiers, mile is also used to describe or interpret a broad range of units derived from or roughly equivalent to the Roman mile, such as the nautical mile (now ane.852 km exactly), the Italian mile (roughly 1.852 km), and the Chinese mile (now 500 m exactly). The Romans divided their mile into 5,000 Roman feet simply the greater importance of furlongs in Elizabethan-era England meant that the statute mile was made equivalent to 8 furlongs or 5,280 feet in 1593. This form of the mile then spread across the British Empire, some successor states of which continue to employ the mile. The Us Geological Survey at present employs the metre for official purposes, but legacy data from its 1927 geodetic datum has meant that a separate United states survey mile ( 6336 / 3937 km) continues to see some use, although it will be officially phased out in 2022. While most countries replaced the mile with the kilometre when switching to the International Organization of Units (SI), the international mile continues to be used in some countries, such equally Liberia, the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, the United States, and a number of countries with fewer than 1 1000000 inhabitants, most of which are Great britain or US territories or have close historical ties with the UK or US.

Name [edit]

The modern English language give-and-take mile derives from Middle English myle and Old English mīl , which was cognate with all other Germanic terms for miles. These derived from the nominal ellipsis course of mīlle passus 'mile' or mīlia passuum 'miles', the Roman mile of one thou paces.^[i]

The present international mile is usually what is understood by the unqualified term mile. When this distance needs to be distinguished from the nautical mile, the international mile may too be described as a land mile or statute mile.^[2] In British English, statute mile may refer to the present international mile or to any other form of English mile since the 1593 Act of Parliament, which set it equally a altitude of one,760 yards. Nether American law, however, statute mile refers to the United states survey mile.^[3] Strange and historical units translated into English language as miles commonly utilize a qualifier to draw the kind of mile being used just this may be omitted if it is obvious from the context, such as a discussion of the 2nd-century Antonine Itinerary describing its distances in terms of miles rather than Roman miles.

Abbreviation [edit]

The mile has been variously abbreviated in English language—with and without a trailing period—as "mi", "M", "ml", and "m".^[iv] The American National Plant of Standards and Technology now uses and recommends "mi" to avoid confusion with the SI metre (thou) and millilitre (ml).^[5] However, derived units such as miles per hour or miles per gallon continue to exist abbreviated every bit "mph" and "mpg" rather than "mi/h" and "mi/gal". In the United Kingdom, road signs use "m" equally the abbreviation for mile though peak and width restrictions also use "1000" equally the abbreviation for the metre, which may be displayed alongside feet and inches.^[vi] The BBC style holds that "there is no acceptable abbreviation for 'miles'" and so it should exist spelled out when used in describing areas.^[7]

Historical [edit]

Roman [edit]

The Roman mile ( mille passus , lit.  "thousand paces"; abbr. m.p.; as well milia passuum ^{[n one]} and mille ) consisted of a g paces equally measured by every other step—as in the total distance of the left foot hitting the ground 1,000 times. The aboriginal Romans, marching their armies through uncharted territory, would frequently push a carved stick in the footing afterwards each one,000 paces.^{[ citation needed ]} Well-fed and harshly driven Roman legionaries in good weather thus created longer miles. The altitude was indirectly standardised by Agrippa's institution of a standard Roman foot (Agrippa'southward ain) in 29 BC,^[9] and the definition of a footstep as v feet. An Imperial Roman mile thus denoted five,000 Roman feet. Surveyors and specialised equipment such as the decempeda and dioptra then spread its use.^[10]

In modernistic times, Agrippa'due south Imperial Roman mile was empirically estimated to accept been about 1,618 yards (1,479 grand) in length, slightly less than the one,760 yards (1,610 m) of the modern international mile.^[11]

In Hellenic areas of the Empire, the Roman mile (Greek: μίλιον , mílion) was used beside the native Greek units as equivalent to 8 stadia of 600 Greek feet. The mílion connected to exist used as a Byzantine unit and was also used as the proper noun of the zero mile marker for the Byzantine Empire, the Milion, located at the head of the Mese nigh Hagia Sophia.

The Roman mile also spread throughout Europe, with its local variations giving rise to the dissimilar units beneath.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Also arising from the Roman mile is the milestone. All roads radiated out from the Roman Forum throughout the Empire – 50,000 (Roman) miles of stone-paved roads. At every mile was placed a shaped stone. Originally these were obelisks made from granite, marble, or whatever local stone was available. On these was carved a Roman numeral, indicating the number of miles from the centre of Rome – the Forum. Hence, one always knew how far one was from Rome.^[12]

Italian [edit]

The Italian mile ( miglio , pl. miglia ) was traditionally considered a direct continuation of the Roman mile, equal to 1000 paces,^[13] although its bodily value over fourth dimension or between regions could vary profoundly.^[14] It was often used in international contexts from the Heart Ages into the 17th century^[13] and is thus also known as the "geographical mile",^[15] although the geographical mile is at present a split standard unit.

Arabic [edit]

The Arabic mile ( الميل , al-mīl) was non the mutual Arabic unit of length; instead, Arabs and Persians traditionally used the longer parasang or "Arabic league". The Arabic mile was, however, used by medieval geographers and scientists and constituted a kind of precursor to the nautical or geographical mile. It extended the Roman mile to fit an astronomical approximation of 1 arcminute of breadth measured direct north-and-south along a meridian. Although the precise value of the approximation remains disputed, it was somewhere betwixt 1.viii and 2.0 km.

English [edit]

The "quondam English mile" of the medieval and early mod periods varied only seems to have measured almost ane.three international miles (two.1 km).^{[xvi] [17]} The old English mile varied over time and location within England.^[17] The old English mile has as well been defined as 79,200 or 79,320 inches (1.25 or 1.2519 statute miles).^[18] The English language long connected the Roman computations of the mile as 5000 feet, 1000 paces, or 8 longer divisions, which they equated with their "furrow'due south length" or furlong.^[19]

The origins of English language units are "extremely vague and uncertain",^{[20] [ citation needed ]} but seem to have been a combination of the Roman system with native British and Germanic systems both derived from multiples of the barleycorn.^{[due north 2]} Probably past the reign of Edgar in the tenth century, the nominal image concrete standard of English length was an arm-length atomic number 26 bar (a yardstick) held by the king at Winchester;^{[21] [23]} the pes was and so one-third of its length. Henry I was said to have fabricated a new standard in 1101 based on his own arm.^[20] Following the issuance of Magna Carta, the barons of Parliament directed John and his son to keep the king's standard measure ( Mensura Domini Regis ) and weight at the Exchequer,^[20] which thereafter verified local standards until its abolition in the 19th century. New contumely standards are known to have been constructed nether Henry 7 and Elizabeth I.^[24]

Arnold'south c.  1500 Community of London recorded a mile shorter than previous ones, coming to 0.947 international miles (5000 feet) or 1.524 km.^[19]

Statute [edit]

"Statute mile" redirects here. For the electric current statute mile in the United Kingdom, see § International. For the statute mile in the U.s., run into § U.S. survey.

The English statute mile was established by a Weights and Measures Deed of Parliament in 1593 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The act on the Composition of Yards and Perches had shortened the length of the foot and its associated measures, causing the two methods of determining the mile to diverge.^[25] Attributable to the importance of the surveyor's rod in deeds and surveying undertaken under Henry Viii,^[26] decreasing the length of the rod by ane⁄11 would take amounted to a pregnant tax increase. Parliament instead opted to maintain the mile of 8 furlongs (which were derived from the rod) and to increase the number of feet per mile from the quondam Roman value.^[27] The applicative passage of the statute reads: "A Mile shall contain eight Furlongs, every Furlong forty Poles,^{[due north 3]} and every Pole shall contain sixteen Foot and an half."^[29] The statute mile therefore contained 5,280 feet or one,760 yards.^[19] The distance was not uniformly adopted. Robert Morden had multiple scales on his 17th-century maps which included continuing local values: his map of Hampshire, for example, bore ii different "miles" with a ratio of 1 : 1.23 ^[xxx] and his map of Dorset had three scales with a ratio of 1 : ane.23 : 1.41.^[31] In both cases, the traditional local units remained longer than the statute mile. The English statute mile was superseded in 1959 past the international mile by international agreement.

Welsh [edit]

The Welsh mile ( milltir or milldir ) was 3 miles and 1,470 yards long (6.17 km). Information technology comprised 9,000 paces ( cam ), each of iii Welsh feet ( troedfedd ) of 9 inches ( modfeddi ).^[32] (The Welsh inch is normally reckoned as equivalent to the English inch.) Along with other Welsh units, information technology was said to have been codified nether Dyfnwal the Baldheaded and Silent and retained unchanged by Hywel the Good.^[33] Along with other Welsh units, it was discontinued post-obit the conquest of Wales by the English under Edward I in the 13th century.

Scots [edit]

The Scots mile was longer than the English mile,^[35] every bit mentioned by Robert Burns in the first poetry of his poem "Tam o' Shanter". It comprised 8 (Scots) furlongs divided into 320 falls or faws (Scots rods).^[36] It varied from place to place but the most accepted equivalencies are 1,976 Imperial yards (1.123 statute miles or one.81 km).

It was legally abolished 3 times: first by a 1685 human activity of the Scottish Parliament,^[37] over again by the 1707 Treaty of Union with England,^[38] and finally by the Weights and Measures Deed 1824.^[35] It had continued in use every bit a customary unit through the 18th century only had become obsolete by its final abolition.

Irish [edit]

Milestone on Mountbellew Bridge, erected c. 1760. Distances are given in Irish miles.

The Irish mile ( míle or míle Gaelach ) measured ii,240 yards: approximately 1.27 statute miles or 2.048 kilometres.^{[39] [40]} It was used in Ireland from the 16th century plantations until the 19th century, with residual use into the 20th century. The units were based on "English mensurate" simply used a linear perch measuring 7 yards (6.four thou) every bit opposed to the English rod of 5.five yards (five.0 m).^[xl]

Dutch [edit]

Scalebar on a 16th-century map fabricated by Mercator. The scalebar is expressed in "Hours walking or common Flemish miles", and includes three bodily scales: small, medium and big Flemish miles.

The Dutch mile ( mijl ) has had unlike definitions throughout history. One of the older definitions was 5,600 ells. But the length of an ell was not standardised, then that the length of a mile could range between 3,280 chiliad and 4,280 m. The Dutch mile also has had historical definitions of one hour's walking ( uur gaans ), which meant effectually 5 km, or 20,000 Amsterdam or Rhineland anxiety (respectively 5,660 k or 6,280 yard). Besides the common Dutch mile, in that location is also the geographical mile. 15 geographical Dutch miles equal one degree of longitude on the equator. Its value changed as the circumference of the world was estimated to a amend precision. Only at the time of usage, it was around 7,157 g. The metric system was introduced in holland in 1816, and the metric mile became a synonym for the kilometre, existence exactly 1,000 thou. Since 1870, the term mijl was replaced by the equivalent kilometer . Today, the word mijl is no longer used, except as part of certain proverbs and compound terms like mijlenver ("miles away").

German [edit]

Diverse historic miles and leagues from an 1848 German textbook, given in feet, metres, and fractions of a "degree of meridian"

The German language mile ( Meile ) was 24,000 German feet. The standardised Austrian mile used in southern Germany and the Austrian Empire was vii.586 km; the Prussian mile used in northern Germany was 7.5325 km. Post-obit its standardisation by Ole Rømer in the late 17th century, the Danish mile ( mil ) was precisely equal to the Prussian mile and likewise divided into 24,000 anxiety.^[41] These were sometimes treated as equivalent to seven.v km. Earlier values had varied: the Sjællandske miil , for instance, had been 11.xiii km. The Germans also used a longer version of the geographical mile.

Breslau [edit]

The Breslau mile, used in Breslau, and from 1630 officially in all of Silesia, equal to 11,250 ells, or nigh vi,700 meters. The mile equaled the distance from the Piaskowa Gate all the style to Psie Pole (Hundsfeld). By rolling a circle with a radius of 5 ells through Piaskowa Isle, Ostrów Tumski and suburban tracts, passing viii bridges on the way, the standard Breslau mile was determined.^{[42] [43]}

Saxon [edit]

The Saxon post mile ( kursächsische Postmeile or Polizeimeile , introduced on occasion of a survey of the Saxon roads in the 1700s, corresponded to 2,000 Dresden rods, equivalent to 9.062 kilometres.^[44]

Hungarian [edit]

The Hungarian mile ( mérföld or magyar mérföld ) varied from 8.3790 km to viii.9374 km before being standardised as 8.3536 km.

Portuguese [edit]

The Portuguese mile ( milha ) used in Portugal and Brazil was 2.0873 km prior to metrication.^[45]

Russian [edit]

The Russian mile ( миля or русская миля , russkaya milya ) was 7.468 km, divided into seven versts.

Croatian [edit]

The Croatian mile ( hrvatska milja ), first devised past the Jesuit Stjepan Glavač on a 1673 map, is the length of an arc of the equator subtended by 1 / 10 ° or 11.thirteen km exactly.^{[46] [47]} The previous Croatian mile, at present known equally the "ban mile" ( banska milja ), had been the Austrian mile given higher up.^[48]

Ottoman [edit]

The Ottoman mile was one,894.35 thou (one.17709 mi), which was equal to v,000 Ottoman foot. After 1933, the Ottoman mile was replaced with the modern Turkish mile (one,853.181 m).

International [edit]

The international mile is precisely equal to one.609344 km (or 25146 / 15625  km as a fraction).^[50] It was established every bit part of the 1959 international yard and pound agreement reached by the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Union of South Africa,^[51] which resolved minor but measurable differences that had arisen from split physical standards each state had maintained for the grand.^[52] As with the earlier statute mile, it continues to comprise 1,760 yards or 5,280 anxiety.

The old Imperial value of the chiliad was used in converting measurements to metric values in Republic of india in a 1976 Human activity of the Indian Parliament.^[53] However, the current National Topographic Database of the Survey of Republic of india is based on the metric WGS-84 datum,^[54] which is likewise used past the Global Positioning System.

The departure from the previous standards was ii ppm, or about 3.two millimetres ( 1⁄8  inch) per mile. The U.Southward. standard was slightly longer and the old Imperial standards had been slightly shorter than the international mile. When the international mile was introduced in English language-speaking countries, the basic geodetic datum in America was the Due north American Datum of 1927 (NAD27). This had been constructed by triangulation based on the definition of the foot in the Mendenhall Social club of 1893, with 1 pes = 1200 / 3937 (≈0.304800609601) metres and the definition was retained for information derived from NAD27, but renamed the U.Southward. survey foot to distinguish information technology from the international foot.^{[55] [due north 4]} Thus a survey mile = 1200 / 3937 × 5280 (≈1609.347218694) metres. An international mile = 1609.344 / ( 1200 / 3937 × 5280) (=0.999998) survey miles.

The exact length of the land mile varied slightly among English-speaking countries until the international yard and pound agreement in 1959 established the one thousand as exactly 0.9144 metres, giving a mile of exactly i,609.344 metres. The U.S. adopted this international mile for most purposes, but retained the pre-1959 mile for some land-survey data, terming information technology the U. South. survey mile. In the United states, statute mile usually refers to the survey mile,^[56] about 3.219 mm ( 1⁄8  inch) longer than the international mile (the international mile is exactly 0.0002% less than the U.Due south. survey mile).

While most countries abandoned the mile when switching to the metric organization, the international mile continues to be used in some countries, such equally Republic of liberia, Myanmar,^[57] the Great britain^[58] and the The states.^[59] It is also used in a number of territories with less than a million inhabitants, most of which are U.K. or U.S. territories, or have close historical ties with the U.Chiliad. or U.S.: American Samoa,^[60] Bahama islands,^[61] Belize,^[62] British Virgin Islands,^[63] Cayman Islands,^[64] Dominica,^[64] Falkland Islands,^[65] Grenada,^[66] Guam,^[67] The N. Mariana Islands,^[68] Samoa,^[69] St. Lucia,^[seventy] St. Vincent & The Grenadines,^[71] St. Helena,^[72] St. Kitts & Nevis,^[73] the Turks & Caicos Islands,^[74] and the U.Southward. Virgin Islands.^[75] The mile is even encountered in Canada, though this is predominantly in rail transport and horse racing, as the roadways have been metricated since 1977.^{[76] [77] [78] [79]} The Republic of Ireland gradually replaced miles with kilometres, including in speed measurements; the process was completed in 2005.

U.S. survey [edit]

For the detailed calculations of international miles to survey miles and feet (above), encounter § International.

The U.S. survey mile is 5,280 U.South. survey feet, or i,609.347 metres and 0.30480061 metres respectively.^[eighty] Both are very slightly longer than the international mile and international foot. In the United States, the term statute mile formally refers to the survey mile,^[3] but for most purposes, the deviation of less than one⁄viii inch (3.2 mm) between the survey mile and the international mile (1609.344 metres exactly) is insignificant—one international mile is 0.999998 U.S. survey miles—and then statute mile can be used for either. But in some cases, such as in the U.S. State Plane Coordinate Systems (SPCSs), which can stretch over hundreds of miles,^[81] the accumulated difference tin be pregnant, so it is important to note that the reference is to the U.S. survey mile.

The United States redefined its thou in 1893, and this resulted in U.S. and Imperial measures of distance having very slightly different lengths.

The North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), which replaced the NAD27, is divers in metres. State Plane Coordinate Systems were and then updated, simply the National Geodetic Survey left individual states to decide which (if any) definition of the foot they would use. All State Plane Coordinate Systems are divers in metres, and 42 of the l states simply use the metre-based State Plane Coordinate Systems. All the same, eight states also have State Plane Coordinate Systems defined in feet, seven of them in U.S. survey feet and i in international feet.^[81]

State legislation in the U.S. is of import for determining which conversion factor from the metric datum is to be used for country surveying and real estate transactions, even though the difference (ii ppm) is inappreciably significant, given the precision of normal surveying measurements over short distances (unremarkably much less than a mile). Twenty-4 states have legislated that surveying measures be based on the U.Southward. survey foot, eight have legislated that they be based on the international human foot, and eighteen have non specified which conversion factor to utilise.^[81]

SPCS 83 legislation refers to state legislation that has been passed or updated using the newer 1983 NAD data. Almost states take washed so. Two states (AK, MO) and two jurisdictions (GU, PR) do non specify which pes to use.^[81] Additionally, two states (AL, HI) and four jurisdictions (DC, 6, As, MP) practice not have SPCS 83 legislation.^[81]

In Oct 2019, U.S. National Geodetic Survey and National Institute of Standards and Technology announced their joint intent to retire the U.S. survey foot and U.Southward. survey mile, as permitted past their 1959 decision, with consequence on January 1, 2023.^{[82] [83] [84]}

Nautical [edit]

On the utility of the nautical mile.
Each circumvolve shown is a great circle—the counterpart of a line in spherical trigonometry—and hence the shortest path connecting 2 points on the globular surface. Meridians are swell circles that laissez passer through the poles.

The nautical mile was originally defined equally one minute of arc along a superlative of the Earth.^[85] Navigators apply dividers to pace off the altitude betwixt two points on the navigational chart, so place the open up dividers against the minutes-of-latitude calibration at the edge of the nautical chart, and read off the distance in nautical miles.^[86] The Earth is not perfectly spherical but an oblate spheroid, and then the length of a minute of breadth increases by 1% from the equator to the poles. Using the WGS84 ellipsoid, the commonly accepted World model for many purposes today, 1 minute of breadth at the WGS84 equator is 6,046 feet and at the poles is half dozen,107.5 anxiety. The average is most six,076 anxiety (well-nigh i,852 metres or 1.15 statute miles).

In the United states, the nautical mile was defined in the 19th century as vi,080.ii feet (i,853.249 m), whereas in the United Kingdom, the Admiralty nautical mile was defined every bit half-dozen,080 feet (1,853.184 m) and was most one infinitesimal of latitude in the latitudes of the southward of the UK. Other nations had unlike definitions of the nautical mile, merely it is now internationally defined to be exactly 1,852 metres (half dozen,076.11548556 anxiety).^[87]

[edit]

The nautical mile per hour is known as the knot. Nautical miles and knots are almost universally used for aeronautical and maritime navigation, because of their relationship with degrees and minutes of latitude and the convenience of using the latitude scale on a map for distance measuring.

The data mile is used in radar-related subjects and is equal to six,000 feet (1.8288 kilometres).^[88] The radar mile is a unit of fourth dimension (in the same fashion that the calorie-free year is a unit of distance), equal to the fourth dimension required for a radar pulse to travel a distance of 2 miles (one mile each way). Thus, the radar statute mile is ten.eight μs and the radar nautical mile is 12.4 μs.^[89]

Geographical [edit]

The geographical mile is based upon the length of a meridian of latitude. The German language geographical mile ( geographische Meile ) was previously one⁄15 ° of latitude (7.4127 km).^[90]

Filigree system [edit]

Cities in the continental Usa oft take streets laid out by miles. Detroit, Indianapolis, Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami, are several examples. Typically the largest streets are about a mile apart, with others at smaller intervals. In the Manhattan borough of New York Urban center "streets" are shut to 20 per mile, while the major numbered "avenues" are nearly six per mile. (Centerline to centerline, 42nd Street to 22nd Street is supposed to be 5,250 feet while 42nd Street to 62nd Street is supposed to be^{[ clarification needed ]} 5,276 ft 8 in.)^{[ citation needed ]}

Metric [edit]

The informal term "metric mile" is used in some countries, in sports such every bit rail and field athletics and speed skating, to announce a distance of i,500 metres (0.932 miles). The 1500 meters is the premier middle distance running event in Olympic sports. In United states high-school competition, the term is sometimes used for a race of ane,600 metres (0.994 miles).^[91]

Scandinavian [edit]

The Scandinavian mile ( mil ) remains in common use in Norway and Sweden, where it has meant precisely x km since metrication in 1889.^[41] It is used in informal situations and in measurements of fuel consumption, which are often given equally litres per mil . In formal situations (such as official road signs) and where confusion may occur with international miles, it is avoided in favour of kilometres.

The Swedish mile was standardised as 36,000 Swedish feet or 10.687 km in 1649; before that it varied past province from nearly 6 to 14.485 km.^[41]

Before metrication, the Norwegian mile was eleven.298 km.

The traditional Finnish peninkulma was translated as mil in Swedish and also set equal to x km during metrication in 1887, but is much less normally used.

A comparison of the different lengths for a "mile", in different countries and at unlike times in history, is given in the table below. Leagues are as well included in this list because, in terms of length, they fall in betwixt the brusk West European miles and the long North, Primal and Eastern European miles.

• A state mile is used colloquially to announce a very long distance.
• "A miss is equally proficient as a mile" (failure by a narrow margin is no amend than any other failure)
• "Give him an inch and he'll have a mile" – a corruption of "Requite him an inch and he'll accept an ell" ^{[97] [98]} (the person in question will become greedy if shown generosity)
• "Missed by a mile" (missed by a wide margin)
• "Go a mile a minute" (move very apace)
• "Talk a mile a infinitesimal" (speak at a rapid rate)
• "To get the extra mile" (to put in extra effort)
• "Miles away" (lost in thought, or daydreaming)
• "Milestone" (an issue indicating significant progress)

Encounter too [edit]

• Biblical mile
• Chinese mile ( 里 )
• Data mile
• Food miles
• 4-infinitesimal mile
• Geographical mile

2. ^ The c.  1300 Composition of Yards and Perches, a statute of uncertain date unremarkably reckoned equally an enactment of Edward I^[21] or II,^[twenty] notionally continued to derive English units from three barleycorns "dry and round" to the inch^[21] and this statute remained in force until the 1824 Weights and Measures Act establishing the Royal system. In practice, official measures were verified using the standards at the Exchequer or simply ignored.^[22]
3. ^ "Pole" being another name for the rod.
