About these units
Furlongs
A furlong is a unit of length used primarily in horse racing and agriculture. One furlong is equivalent to 220 yards or approximately 201.168 meters.
The furlong is defined as one-eighth of a mile, making it a useful measurement for shorter distances, especially in contexts like racetracks and land measurement.
Furlongs are commonly used in horse racing to describe the length of a race and in agriculture for measuring field lengths. The unit is less frequently used in modern contexts but remains important in specific areas where its historical relevance endures.
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.
