Mile (Us Survey)
The U.S. survey mile is a unit of length equal to 5,280 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey foot was defined such that 1 meter is exactly 39.37 inches. This made the U.S. survey mile slightly longer than the international mile. The use of the survey foot was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey mile was used for land surveying in the United States.
Kiloparsec
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
