Mile (mi)
Definition: A mile (symbol: mi) is a unit of length equal to 5,280 feet or exactly 1,609.344 meters. It remains a primary unit for distance in the US and UK.
History: Originated from the Roman 'mille passus' (1,000 paces). The statute mile was formalized in 1593 under Queen Elizabeth I. The international mile was standardized in 1959 to align with the meter.
Current use: Dominates US transportation (road signs, speed limits) and athletics (mile runs). The UK uses miles for road distances despite metrication in other sectors.
Millimeter (mm)
Definition: A millimeter (symbol: mm) is one-thousandth of a meter (0.001 m). It enables precise measurements in engineering, manufacturing, and scientific research.
History: Standardized in the 19th century alongside the meter, its utility grew with industrialization, where exact measurements became critical for machinery and interchangeable parts.
Current use: Essential in mechanical engineering (tolerances), meteorology (rainfall), and medicine (stent diameters). Also used in jewelry (gemstone sizes) and paper thickness (e.g., 120gsm paper ≈ 0.16 mm).
