What is a statute mile?

A statute mile is a unit of length equal to 5,280 feet, defined exactly as 1,609.344 meters and commonly used for road distances in the US and UK.

Why convert miles to meters?

Converting miles to meters allows for integration of distance data with metric-based scientific, engineering, or international systems.

Is this conversion the same for nautical miles?

No, the nautical mile is a different unit used in navigation and is not equivalent to the statute mile.
