Mile
A mile is a unit of length commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom to measure long distances. One mile equals 5,280 feet or about 1.609 kilometers. Miles are often used to measure distances between cities, in running races like the mile run, or for driving distances shown on road signs. The abbreviation for mile is "mi". Although many countries use the metric system with kilometers, miles remain popular in some places for everyday distance measurements and travel.
Famn
A famn (also spelled fathom in English) is a traditional Scandinavian unit of length used primarily for measuring the depth of water or length of ropes and cables. It is roughly equivalent to 6 Swedish feet, which translates to about 1.828 meters (approximately 6 feet).
The famn is similar in concept to the English fathom, based on the span of outstretched arms.
While largely obsolete today, the famn was commonly used in maritime contexts in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark and remains part of historical measurements.
