Conversion Definitions
Kilometer (km): A kilometer equals 1,000 meters and is part of the metric system used worldwide to measure distance. It is commonly used for road distances and geographic lengths, representing about 0.621371 miles. Kilometers are standard in scientific and everyday measurements outside the US.
Mile (mi): A mile is an imperial unit of distance equal to 5,280 feet or approximately 1,609.34 meters. Miles are mostly used in the United States and United Kingdom for road distances and geographical measurements. The mile is longer than a kilometer, so values in miles are smaller than their kilometer counterparts.
Conversion FAQs
