The meter (m) is the SI base unit of length. Defined since 2019 as the distance light travels in vacuum in exactly 1/299,792,458 of a second, the meter is the reference all other length units derive from. It is the standard unit for room dimensions, sports fields, and short-to-mid distances in most of the world.
The international (statute) mile (mi) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 1609.344 meters (5,280 feet). It is the standard unit for road distances in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Liberia. Do not confuse it with the nautical mile, which is 1852 m.
