Yards and Miles

The "yard" and the "mile" are both units of length in the imperial system, which is mainly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. The imperial system is characterized by its non-decimal structure, in contrast to the metric system which is widespread around the world and is based on factors of ten.

Yard

A "yard" is defined as exactly 0.9144 meters in the metric system. It is widely used in daily measurements in countries where the imperial system is still in use. In addition, the yard is also a standard unit of length measurement in various sports such as football, cricket, and golf.

Mile

The "mile", on the other hand, is a longer unit of length. It corresponds to 1.60934 kilometers in the metric system. It is often used to indicate longer distances, such as the distance between cities or the length of a marathon race, which is traditionally 26 miles and 385 yards.
