The span (cloth) is based on the width of a person's outstretched hand from thumb to little finger, providing a practical measure for fabric lengths and textile work.
Spans (cloth) were used in the textile industry for measuring and cutting fabric. While less common today, the unit remains of historical interest and reflects traditional practices in cloth measurement and tailoring.
Kilometers
A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.
The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.
Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
