Understanding Inches and Miles

Length and distance units split broadly into two systems: the metric system (meters, centimeters, kilometers) used by most of the world, and the imperial/US customary system (inches, feet, yards, miles) still standard in the United States. Engineering, construction, aviation, and shipping each rely on specific units — nautical miles for sea and air navigation, feet for altitude, millimeters for precision manufacturing.
