About the Yard (yd)
The yard (symbol: yd) is a unit of length in the Imperial and US Customary systems. It is equal to 3 feet or 36 inches. In the United States, it is a common unit for measuring land, fabric, and the distance to a first down in American football.
The yard is often seen as the "human scale" counterpart to the meter, as it is roughly the length of a large step taken by an adult.
About the Mile (mi)
The mile (symbol: mi) is a larger unit of length, primarily used in the United States and the United Kingdom. One international mile is defined as exactly 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards.
Historically, the mile was based on 1,000 paces of a Roman legion (a "mille passus"). Today, it is the standard for road signs, speed limits, and measuring the distance between cities in regions that have not fully adopted the metric system for transport.
