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.

Micron

A micron is another name for a micrometer, a very small unit of length in the metric system. One micron equals one-millionth of a meter (1 micron = 1 µm = 0.000001 meters). Microns are used to measure extremely small things like bacteria, cells, dust particles, or the thickness of hair and fibers. For example, a human hair is about 70 microns thick. The symbol for micron is "µm". Though “micron” is an older term, it is still commonly used in fields like biology, electronics, and materials science to describe microscopic measurements.
