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.

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.
