miles

A mile is a unit of distance used mainly in the United States and a few other countries. It’s equivalent to 5,280 feet or about 1,609 meters. Miles are commonly used to measure the length of roads, distances between cities, or the progress of a journey. For example, driving 100 miles means traveling a distance roughly equivalent to going from one city to another that far apart. The mile provides a manageable way to quantify longer distances, making it easier to understand and communicate how far something is.
