Unit History
About kilometers
The kilometer was established following the definition of the meter, representing exactly 1,000 meters. It quickly became a standard for measuring longer distances, such as those between cities or geographic landmarks. Most countries that use the metric system rely on kilometers to indicate road and travel distances.
About yards
The yard is an old English unit that was eventually standardized in England under various monarchs. Today, it remains part of the US customary and British imperial systems. Though not as widely used as the meter internationally, yards are still frequently referenced in certain sports (like American football) and in casual measurements within the US and UK.
