An aln is a historical Scandinavian unit of length used mainly for measuring cloth and distances, with length varying by country and era.

What does mile (statute) mean?

Mile (statute) is the standard length unit equal to 5,280 feet or exactly 1,609.344 meters, commonly used for road distances.

Why is the aln to mile conversion approximate?

Because the aln length varied regionally and historically, resulting in approximate conversions to the exact statute mile.
