What is Inch?
An inch is a unit of measurement that is used to measure length in The United States and imperial systems of measurement. According to the standard definition released in 1959, an inch is approximately 25.4 millimeters. There are 12 inches in one foot, while 36 inches make up one yard. The word ‘inch’ finds its origin in the Latin term ‘uncia’, which means 1/12th of the traditional Roman foot. The definition and value of inch as we know today has been derived after evolution of various standards over the years.
What is Kilometer?
A kilometer is a unit of length as defined in the International System of Units, and is denoted by the symbol ‘km’. 1 kilometer is roughly equivalent to 0.6214 miles. The word ‘kilometer’ is coined by adding the metric prefix ‘kilo’ which means ‘thousand’ to the word meter. Thus, a kilometer means 1000 meters. The origin of this unit is tied to the term meter, while the modern definition is the distance covered by light in 1/299792458 seconds. While the relationship between meter and kilometer remains constant, the definition of this unit may be subject to change.
