About these units
Leagues
A league is a unit of length that was traditionally used in Europe and Latin America. One league is typically defined as three miles or approximately 4.83 kilometers.
Historically, the league varied in length from one region to another. It was originally based on the distance a person could walk in an hour.
Today, the league is mostly obsolete and is no longer used in modern measurements. It remains as a reference in literature and historical texts.
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.
