Convert Meters To Miles
|
This measurement conversion is based on a simple rule: 1 m = 0.00062 mi The metre (or meter), symbol m, is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Originally intended to be one ten-millionth of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North Pole, its definition has been periodically refined to reflect growing knowledge of metrology. Since 1983, it is defined as the distance travelled by light in a complete vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
A mile is a unit of length in a number of different systems. In contemporary English, a mile most commonly refers to the statute mile of 5,280 feet, the survey mile of 5,280 survey feet or the nautical mile of 1,852 metres. It is about a third of the old measurement, the league.
