Unit History
About miles
The mile has historical roots stretching back to ancient Rome, where it was based on the term 'mille passus' (a thousand paces). Over centuries, it evolved in English-speaking regions and is still common in the United States and some other countries for expressing road distances. Despite global reliance on the metric system, the mile remains a staple in everyday usage in these regions.
About centimeters
The centimeter, exactly one-hundredth of a meter, traces its origins to the same revolutionary reforms that created the metric system. Commonly used in everyday tasks, it is especially helpful for measuring smaller objects, personal body dimensions, and household items. It plays a critical role in many fields, from tailoring and construction to basic scientific experiments.
