Ken

A ken is a traditional Japanese unit of length used mainly in architecture and construction. It measures the distance between two pillars in traditional Japanese buildings and is roughly equivalent to 6 Japanese feet (shaku) or about 1.82 meters (approximately 6 feet).

The ken was a standard module in Japanese design, influencing room sizes and proportions in temples, houses, and other structures. Its use helped maintain harmony and consistency in traditional building layouts.

Though largely replaced by the metric system today, the ken remains significant in studying traditional Japanese architecture and cultural heritage.

Summary:

1 ken ≈ 1.82 meters (6 feet)
Based on spacing between structural pillars
Used in traditional Japanese architecture
Important for historical and cultural studies

Kiloyard

A kiloyard is a less commonly used unit of length that equals 1,000 yards. Since one yard is exactly 0.9144 meters, a kiloyard is equivalent to 914.4 meters or 0.9144 kilometers.

While not widely used in everyday measurements or scientific contexts, the kiloyard may occasionally appear in specialized fields like military applications, ballistics, or older engineering texts where large distances were measured in yards. It follows the metric-style prefix "kilo-" (meaning one thousand) combined with the imperial unit "yard."

Conversion:

1 kiloyard = 1,000 yards
1 kiloyard = 914.4 meters
1 kiloyard ≈ 0.568 miles

Due to the dominance of the metric system and the more common use of miles for longer imperial distances, the kiloyard remains a rare and non-standard unit in most modern contexts.
