What is a mile?
A mile is 1,609.344 meters, or 5,280 feet. The unit goes back to the Roman "mille passus," a thousand paces of a marching soldier, though the modern mile is a bit longer than the Roman one.
The United States and the United Kingdom still post road speeds and distances in miles. A brisk walk covers a mile in about 15 minutes, and a mile is four laps of a standard running track plus a short extra stretch.
In writing, the mile is usually shortened to "mi". One mile is 1609.344 meters, and that ratio is what every figure on this page is built from.
