What is a mile [mi, mi(Int)] used for?

The mile is an English unit of length primarily used for measuring land distances, road lengths, and for athletics in countries using imperial or US customary units.

Why convert miles to long cubits?

Converting miles to long cubits helps scholars and researchers translate modern distances into ancient units for studying archaeological sites, biblical texts, and museum artifacts.

Is the long cubit length always the same?

No, the long cubit length varies depending on the historical period and location, so the conversion represents an approximate average.
