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 micrometers
The micrometer (µm), one-millionth of a meter, became important as scientific instruments advanced, enabling the study of microscopic objects. Researchers in fields like biology, materials science, and engineering regularly rely on this unit to describe cells, fibers, and thin films. Its small scale is indispensable for tasks requiring detailed accuracy.
